Subject: Joint Statement from AIIM and ARMA

 

We wanted to make the members of AIIM and ARMA aware of some strategic
discussions that have been occurring over the past few months between
the two organizations. 

In December 2005, the AIIM Executive Committee, with the full support of
the AIIM Board, contacted ARMA's Executive Committee about AIIM's
interest in meeting to discuss whether there might be ways to more
closely align the two organizations to better address the needs of their
respective members. 

The AIIM and ARMA Executive Committees eventually met in Chicago in June
to discuss the possibilities. They agreed to meet again in August, prior
to ARMA's Strategic Planning Committee and to include the entire ARMA
Board. At the August meeting, AIIM's Executive Committee presented its
ideas for a possible closer alignment, including consolidation or
combination of the two organizations. It also proposed forming a joint
AIIM/ARMA Task Force. The job of this task force would be to meet with
an external facilitator selected by both organizations and determine
whether a possible consolidation or combination of AIIM and ARMA would
be: a) feasible; and b) in the interests of the members of both
organizations. The ARMA Board agreed to discuss the topic further during
its Strategic Planning Committee meetings. 

On September 6, ARMA's Board advised AIIM's Executive Committee that the
Board and Strategic Planning Committee had discussed the proposal at
length and decided it was not necessary to form a task force. The ARMA
Board stated that it was not interested in pursuing the possible
consolidation or combination of the two organizations; however, it was
interested in identifying other opportunities on which AIIM and ARMA
could work more closely.
