    The Elusive Species of the Information Age: The Data Management Professional

    [From the report]  "At the recent DAMA International Symposium  Wilshire Metadata Conference (April 2006 in Denver, Colorado), the association conducted the first ever survey of Data Management Professionals.  The conference was attended by more than 1,000 professionals and about one third of the attendees participated in the survey.  The purpose of the survey was to learn more about the professional and its work environment"[.]

    You can read the full report here.

    Be sure to look for a reference to our own local chapter president, Mark Gillenson.
