Welcome to the Columbia Basin Chapter
The Columbia Basin Chapter
of ARMA recently celebrated it's
30th anniversary. Chapter members reflect the diversity of
Eastern Washington, but they share a common interest in
improving the quality of records and information management
in their organizations.
Upcoming Chapter Meeting
May 21, 2009
Our May
meeting will feature Dave McDermott, Records Manager for J.R. Simplot, and
Fran Blaylock, ARMA Region Coordinator.
Dave
McDermott’s presentation will arm records managers with information
they can use in support of their program when records become an
upper management issue. The management of corporate records and
information has not historically been an upper management concern.
However, increased regulation, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, high profile
court cases and class-action litigation, have changed the view of
records management. How company records are handled or neglected
bears directly on how situations appear to courts, regulators,
media, insurers, and shareholders. When records cannot be produced
in the face of impending litigation, or worse, if the information
surfaces after discovery, the courts take a dim view of that
company’s management of information.
Fran Blaylock will give an update on ARMA International and the
Great Northwest Region.
Please join us!
You do not have
to be a member of ARMA International or the Columbia Basin Chapter
to attend. Guests and visitors are always welcome at
our meetings.
Check-in and networking time starts
at 6:00 p.m., with dinner at 6:15, and the program at approximately
7:00.
