The AAPM ® American Academy of Project Management ® was originally established in 1996 by the Founders Board of the Graduate Institute of Executive Leadership and Development which was a College Chartered Organization in America. The IPMC ™ International Project Management Commission ™ was originally established as a professional Board of Standards and Ethics for management consultants, marketing specialists, executives, professors, leadership analysts, and trained military. The Commission is also in direct alliance with the International Institute for Professional Analysts and the E-Business Institute which helped establish the Global e-Business Board. The IPMC ™ currently recognizes nearly 12,000 Professors, Managers, PhDs, Government Employees, Scientists, Lawyers, Military, & PM Masters Degree Holders as executive members in over 120+ nations.
