Please join ARMA NOVA for our first meeting of the chapter season, on 
September 4, at a new chapter meeting location - Clyde's of Tyson's 
Corner. 

Our program theme for this chapter season is “eRecords and Information 
Governance, leaving the paper paradigm behind.” Our speaker for this 
meeting is Paul Wester, who will talk about Managing Government 
Records Directive: What all Departments Need to Know. 

Mr. Wester will provide an update on 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.
