Please join ARMA NOVA for our December 2010 chapter meeting.  Our speaker 
is Elizabeth W. Adkins, Director of Global Records and Information Management 
at CSC.  Elizabeth will discuss her experiences leading a delegation of 
archivists to South Africa in March 2010 on behalf of the People to People 
Citizen Ambassador Programs, which facilitates professional and cultural 
exchanges between the U.S. and other parts of the world.  During the visit, 
the delegation met with archivists in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and 
learned about the role that records have played in South Africa’s troubled past 
and during the country’s transformation to a post-apartheid society.

The December chapter meeting will also be an opportunity for attendees to 
support Training Futures, a program of Northern Virginia Family Service 
(www.nvfs.org) that prepares individuals to move from dead-end or sporadic 
employment to professional office careers which provide livable wages, 
benefits and opportunities for professional and personal growth.  Training 
Futures was launched in 1996 and has since trained more than 1,000 people 
from diverse backgrounds and experience.  Training Futures uses ARMA 
publications in their curriculum and at least one of our chapter members has 
hired a Training Futures program graduate.  All donations are tax-deductible, 
and the chapter will provide a donation at least equal to the total amount of 
donations made by chapter members.  We encourage everyone to open your 
hearts and pocketbooks for this worthy cause, by donating either at the 
meeting or through this link:  https://co.clickandpledge.com/Default.aspx?
