OUR STORY

The Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) was founded in 1951 by a group of forward-thinking IT professionals who recognized the need for a dedicated community to support the burgeoning field of information technology. Originally known as the National Machine Accountants Association (NMAA), the organization aimed to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, advancing careers, and fostering innovation.

As technology evolved, so did our organization. In 1962, we became the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA), reflecting the growing importance of data processing in the IT industry. By 1996, with the rise of the internet and the expanding role of IT professionals, we adopted the name Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) to better represent our diverse and dynamic membership.



Throughout our history, AITP has remained committed to empowering IT professionals by providing resources, networking opportunities, and a supportive community. Our chapters, scattered across the country, continue to serve as vibrant hubs where members can connect, collaborate, and grow.
