little known fact, but HR departments call other HR departments and
ask "do you have a records manager on board?, if so how much do you
pay them?" Seriously this is true as i've worked with HR folks and
asked how they do salary determinations. What they fail to realize is
that may be the current salary, but would they be able to replace the
incumbent for that dollar amount. Probably not.

look at the recent posting from the Denver area where the salary range
is $90-110K, the salary range for RMs is slowly moving up, but folks
need to realize that the title "records manager" has been applied to a
wide variety of positions. In some cases the position may be only in
charge of file room, while another position is developing and
implementing policy and procedure.

I like Charles' strategy of comparing the RM position to folks in IT
