I am posting this for someone not a subscriber. 

My friend works for a small (<1000 employees) Canadian pharmaceutical 
firm, which in the past year has "merged" with a much larger international 
company.  The firm is located in Toronto.  This small firm has somehow 
managed up until now without records management expertise.  The new 
corporate management has decided to change that.   They have been advised 
to hire one person to fulfil the following requirements:


§       Maintains knowledge of laws, literature and publications that 
address records retention.
§       Recommends changes to retention schedules and communicates local 
requirements to corporate head office 
§       Gives presentations as required to departments in retention 
policies and procedures.
§       Evaluates and recommends solutions to information management 
problems
§       Oversees all activities pertaining to inactive records.  Is 
responsible for the receipt, storage, retrieval, use and disposition of 
inactive                records.
§       Directly and indirectly recruit, train and supervise temporary 
staff, summer students and external consultants.
§       Works with user departments on special research and retrieval 
projects to ensure that all information needs are met.
§       Prepares statistical reports on all phases of records program as 
required


My friend would like some advice on salary range and title.     Any 
assistance you can provide him would be greatly appreciated.   You can 
respond on list or directly to me and I'll gladly forward your responses 
onward.

Thank you!
