Executive Committee


The Executive Committee is elected by the iKMS AGM every two years. The next election will be in January 2005.

iKMS strives to ensure that the membership of ExCo is representative of the membership base, and that it involves practitioners, researchers, as well as providers in the KM space.

As of 2004, ExCo members have well defined roles, and performance indicators tied to the benefits that ExCo brings to its membership. To see the role descriptions and performance indicators, click on the role title above each member's profile.

Special Interest Groups


In April 2004 iKMS launched its new-style special interest groups which will function as focused communities of practice within the KM community in Singapore.

Any three members can apply to have a formal SIG established under the iKMS banner (and they can include non-iKMS members in them). iKMS has set aside a small budget to support SIG meetings and is working on the technology support for virtual collaboration.

Download our new SIG Guidelines and get in touch with our SIG Coordinator Raymond Cheung on the topics for which you have a passion!
