Blake,
Hope all is well! In my opinion it depends on an organization to determine what the title/job description should be and not an association. The association can provide guidance, but shouldn't be the final authority. Records, information, data, IG could fall under administration, operations, accounting, IT, legal, etc. Even C-level positions for IT duke it out over the use of CIO, CSO, CISO, and CTO. My question is what exactly do they do and who/what are they responsible for?
If you are handling and/or responsible records, than you should have records in your title. If your company calls records "information" it should be in the title.
If we took out "records" from the records manager and called the role engagement manager it could make sense for some or be an HR nightmare for others.
Check out what Google.com/trends (link below) has to say about the subject of "records manager" vs. "CIO". Then compare records management to information governance. This is more of a fun tool to see what is trending on Google, but could approve/disprove certain misconceptions about words or phrases compared to others. Note: Don't compare records management to Justin Bieber...you will be disappointed!
