Please join the Northern Virginia Chapter of ARMA for our October chapter
meeting. Our program theme for this chapter season is “The State of the Art
in Records and Information Management.” Our speaker for this meeting is Paul
Wester, who will talk about developments since the landmark Presidential
Memo on Managing Government Records was issued in November 2011.
Mr. Wester will outline what the Archivist of the United States and the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) addressed in the groundbreaking Records
Management Directive issued in August 2012, based in part on input from
government agencies. This bold new directive sets a new course for federal
electronic recordkeeping requirements, including email, social media, and the
cloud. Mr. Wester will explain what is expected of agencies as a result of the
Directive, and will answer questions and concerns about implementation.
