Celebrating Our First Certified Professionals: A Milestone for the IM Industry

We are proud to announce that the first group of individuals have officially completed and been awarded their RIMPA Certification, marking a significant achievement not just for them personally, but for the broader information management (IM) profession. These trailblazers have taken the leap to validate their skills, boost their professional credibility, and set a new benchmark for excellence in our field.

This milestone is more than a personal win — it’s a celebration of commitment, growth, and progress. These professionals now hold a respected credential that signals to employers, clients, and peers that they are equipped to meet the challenges of today’s IM landscape with confidence and capability.

Why This Matters?

The RIMPA Certification Program was created to provide a structured, future-focused pathway for professionals seeking to grow their careers, demonstrate their value, and stay relevant in a rapidly evolving industry. With three certification levels — Experienced, Skilled, and Expert — the program is designed to support IM professionals at every stage of their journey.

Each certification is aligned with RIMPA’s Capability Framework and underpinned by 27 key skill sets across four core domains:

• Governance

• Information Management

• Information Analysis

• Leadership

We applaud our first certification recipients for taking the lead. You are not only advancing your own careers — you are helping to raise the profile and standards of the entire industry.
