Organization Tiers
What's this?
DAMA-MN offers Organizational Membership tiers that allow an employer—such as a company, government agency, nonprofit, or academic institution—to provide DAMA-MN membership to multiple employees under a single organizational membership.
If your organization is a DAMA-MN Organizational Member, any employee may request to be added to that organization’s DAMA-MN membership roster. Membership requests are reviewed and managed internally by your organization.
Role of the Bundle Coordinator
Each Organizational Member designates one or more Bundle Coordinators (also called Bundle Administrators). A Bundle Coordinator is an employee of the organization who is authorized to:
- Approve and manage employee membership requests
Add or remove employees from the organization’s DAMA-MN roster
Maintain an accurate and current membership list
Bundle Coordinators manage memberships directly through DAMA-MN’s secure membership system.
Already Work for an Organizational Member?

If your organization is listed, contact your internal Bundle Coordinator to request access.
