Looks like a competing organization to ICRM. Or am I missing something?

> Compulsory CPD for Professional Members
>
> The Records Management Association of Australasia (RMAA) at its
> September
> 2006 Board meeting passed a plan to strengthen its existing continuing
> professional development (CPD) scheme for records and information
> professionals and introduce compulsory CPD for all professional
> members of the Association.
>
> These plans are a first step towards a 'validation system', which the
> RMAA intends to deliver and which will require all records and
> information professional members to show on a regular basis that they
> remain current in the dynamic field of records and information
> management.
>
> The new compulsory CPD-system has been implemented by the RMAA and
> takes effect from 1 July 2007. The CPD activities are organised by the
> RMAA itself or other recognised service providers (professional and
> other allied institutions, government agencies, commercial course
> providers, etc.).
> Although there are many ways of taking CPD activities, the RMAA
> encourages more active learning methods such as participating,
> presenting, contributing, writing and studying instead of passive
> learning as are reading and listening, The existing categories
> include:
>
> A. Externally arranged CPD activities; B. Professional activities /
> contribution; C. On-the-job development; and D.
> Personal Enhancement and others.
>
> A mandatory CPD Program is a global trend amongst professional
> practice.
> RMAA's Board and CPD Committee looks forward to our members' unfailing
> support in the years to come.
>
> The CPD Scheme is available from the website - www.rmaa.com.au - or
> from Kate Walker, Chief Executive Officer - [log in to unmask]
>
> Notes to Release:
>
> . Professional Members of the RMAA have the status of Associate,
> Member or
> Fellow.
>
> . Professional members are required to accumulate 90 points of CPD
> over a
> three-year period to retain a Professional Member status.
>
> . Verifiable CPD is defined as CPD which:
>
> . has concise educational aims and objectives - the
> activity should
> have a
> clear purpose or goal;
> . clear anticipated outcomes - the participant should
> know what (s)he
> can
> expect to gain as a result of taking part in the activity;
> . quality controls - participants should have the chance to give
> feedback,
> with a view to improving quality; and
> . for which the participant gets and keeps a certificate (or other
> type of
> documentary proof) proving that they took part in the activity. The
> certificate should come from the activity provider or organiser, and
> should show the number of hours spent on the activity.
>
> . Ongoing support for members and tools to assist with
> the CPD scheme
> are
> available - contact Kate Walker - [log in to unmask]
