ITSMF - Information Technology Senior Management Forum

ITSMF - Information Technology Senior Management Forum ITSMF increases the representation of professionals at senior levels in technology, to impact organizational innovation and growth.

The Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF), formed in 1996, began with a conversation between a few prominent technology executives who discovered that only 3% of information technology management roles were held by Black professionals. Studies suggested that not enough Black professionals were positioned for senior-level technology positions. This discussion sparked those executiv

es, most of whom were CIOs of major corporations, to action as they were compelled to reach, teach and nurture aspiring technology professionals. Under the leadership of Carl Williams, this 501c(3) organization began recruiting professionals who ranked among the Who’s Who in technology, along with companies and individuals that boldly dared to disrupt the status quo and seek more diversity, equity and inclusion among technology executives. For over 25 years, ITSMF has remained the premier national organization dedicated exclusively to cultivating executive talent among technology professionals. We are extremely proud of our history, encouraged by today’s progress and excited about the work still needed to fulfill tomorrow’s promise.

30 Years. 30 Stories. One Powerful Legacy. 🏆

As part of ITSMF’s “30 for 30” campaign, we’re celebrating the members, leaders, and changemakers who continue to shape the future of technology and leadership.

Meet Gary Eppinger, VP Technology & CISO at CSX.

"ITSMF has had a meaningful influence on my career since I joined. Through the organization, I’ve been able to leverage valuable relationships, especially during career transitions, to gain insight into new opportunities, seek candid advice, and “pressure test” ideas with experienced IT leaders. Those conversations have been invaluable, providing perspective and guidance at key moments in my professional journey."

His journey reflects the power of community, connection, and leadership through ITSMF. Thank you Gary for being part of 30 years of impact and inspiration.

More inspiring stories are on the way. Stay tuned for additional member spotlights as part of ITSMF’s “30 for 30” celebration. ✨
