About AIM Council
With over a decade of experience as the former CPIC Forum & Conference, initially chartered in 2006, the AIM Council strives to spark innovation and integrate governance by incorporating unified approaches to Technology Business Management, Capital Planning & Investment Control, and Strategic Planning.
We combine our governance professional memberships with our governance educational arm to create an “all things governance” annual educational summit (now in our 13th year) and periodic, in-person, educational courses. We share and discuss the latest guidance from the Office of Management and Budget and provide presentations on hot topics like TBM, AI, & Blockchain all while providing networking and access to the most cutting edge, up-to-date IT governance solutions.
We are excited to move into the next phase of our growth and hope that you will join with us in our mission of unification, collaboration, education, and standardization for the purpose of creating better government. Join our Community!
