ARMA Forms Global Partnership with RIMPA

From the press release: 

ARMA International, the world’s leading membership organization serving professionals who manage and govern information assets and the Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia (RIMPA), the longest serving peak body for industry practitioners in the southern hemisphere announced today a Global Partnership to better serve the information management profession worldwide.

The global partnership between these two leading worldwide organizations will provide many benefits to their collective 7,000 members who will now have the opportunity for joint membership in both organizations; access to reciprocal resources including communities and professional development, education and certifications; and advocacy for the information management and information governance profession.  Together the two organizations will work together to provide a unique perspective on global information issues.

I've known of RIMPA for some time, I think from when I was attempting a distance learning degree from RMIT University in Melbourne. I do think it's interesting that ARMA notes they represent almost 5,000 professionals; I'm pretty sure I saw that number at "almost 6,000 members" as recently as last month. 

Looking forward to seeing what comes of this new partnership.
