Abstract
With the increasing importance of both Information Technology and Information Systems (IT & IS) in the economies of the developed and the developing world, professional societies in the IT/IS discipline are in a singularly important position. These societies, which have been established throughout the world, and which represent the interests of large bodies of members, have an important role to play in the development of national and international standards that apply to the conduct of their professional members. Notwithstanding the distribution of the societies, careful scrutiny reveals that while some have a comprehensive set of membership types, regulations, codes and requirements for professional development, others offer a much less rich portfolio of resources and are correspondingly much less formally structured.
