“Panel: Research and Development of Retention Schedules” 

Two Records Management gurus, two different industries, two different 
approaches. 

Please join us as we bring together two industry experts from different sectors 
to share their take on developing record retention schedules.

Julie Blecha comes from the government sector with a focus on functional 
retention schedule development and expertise in research and application of 
retention schedules for state local government agencies. Thom Whittemore 
comes from the consultation world of developing retention schedules for both 
the public and private sector. He specializes in looking for creative ways to 
apply retention on recordkeeping systems. We’ll hear from Julie and Thom on 
how they research and develop retention schedules, their challenges and 
successes on application, and sage advice for smooth implementations.
