Bill Benedon indicated a few weeks ago that he had concerns that many
ARMA members may not be "in the loop" on what ARMA is doing with regard
to recent Board of Directors movement toward a Two-Committee Structure
and in dealing with potential governance changes that relate to that
potential changes in governance (how the Association's Board is
organized to facilitate that new "two-committee structure".  I thought
it might be appropriate to remind those who are ARMA members about how
they can keep up with what is happening within ARMA...and how they can
ensure that they are able to receive email messages that include that
updated information.

 

There's one very good way for ARMA members to do that.  That would be
through an opt-in request for such emails.  Members can opt-in for a
variety of e-mail newsletter subscriptions - including: a RIM Marketing
reminder, the Washington, Canadian and European Policy Briefs, the
Information Management Newswire and the General Email Alert.  In order
to access those options (those which may be most valuable to you, you
can log in to the ARMA website with your email address and password,
open up your account preferences and then to opt-in for those
notifications that you'd like to receive.

 

Once on that page, you can note those newsletter subscriptions that
you'd like to receive, can request the format for emails (html or text),
can opt for an online election ballot, and can note other preferences as
well - especially how you might not wish to be contacted.  Finally, you
can ask not to have your email address released to vendors, or can
request that your email address not be displayed in the ARMA member
directory.

 

If you review that site - something that I check on a periodic basis,
don't forget to click on the "submit changes" to ensure that those
changes are applied to your membership.

 

The goals here are to ensure that members receive that information that
they find most valuable, and that they are not "assaulted" by unwanted
email.  However, remember..... if you don't opt-in for some of that
information, you won't get it, and are then likely to not know of what
is happening in those different areas.  

 

The somewhat belated response to Bill Benedon's email note is that ARMA
members can receive up-to-date information, including those items that
relate to potential governance changes.  However, it is up to each
member to determine whether they wish to see that information.
