Message
Happy Valentine's Day! May we
all have the opportunity to share in the special joy this wonderful day
offers. It is a great day to be nice to everyone, and an extra hug goes a
long way... There is still time to cast
your ballot for the ARMA International candidates for President-Elect (1) and
Directors (3). We all should have received an e-mail ballot, and you can
respond electronically, and it only takes a few minutes. Let's make this year
the best voter turnout ARMA has ever experienced. And speaking of elections,
we are working on the slate of officers at our chapter level, for the
2005-2006 ARMA year. We need interested members to step forward and volunteer
for board positions now. It will be one of the best things you can do for
yourself, both personally and professionally!!! Remember the Joint Spring
Seminar coming up Friday, April 22nd. It is a one day seminar, with the
presenters ready, and the hotel reserved. Now we just need to fill the
rooms to make it a success. This looks to be one of the best seminars ever,
and since it will be held in Also, remember that ARMA
International's new recruitment program, "Energize-Plug Into the
Source", is well under way. Everything is available online, at www.arma.org
to either download or email to a prospective new member. Best regards, Tom Kirschner Around the Sound

Information
Retrieval: The New Paradigm
Patrick Sokolan Patrick Sokolan, Vice
President & Chief Technology Officer for Arcessa, will examine
the current world of information retrieval and help us understand how we need
to shift our approaches and use of technologies to solve the current and
future critical issues with retrieval. His presentation will help us
understand the products and technologies supporting information retrieval. Mr. Sokolan will discuss the new paradigm
in effectively identifying and solving the information retrieval problems and
issues facing many organizations today. Mr. Sokolan’s background includes more than 21
years of management and large-scale information technology experience. In his
current capacity as CTO and VP at Arcessa, he is responsible for the design
and delivery of terabyte to petabyte information retrieval systems in the
Federal Government space. Prior to joining Arcessa, as President of SST
Consulting, he provided information and knowledge management services to a
broad range of companies in the banking, education, retail and manufacturing
sectors. As a management consultant he has worked with companies like
EpicEdge, the Spiegel Group, Eddie Bauer and Motorola. His list of
successfully completed projects is long and includes assignments like the
“Webification” of the Washington State Court system, migration and data
unification of 100,000+ node networks, and several “merging of disparate
systems” following complex multi-company acquisition events. His typical
involvements are driven by the need to join, fuse and analyze large amounts
of disparate and geographically disperse data in complex environments. We hope to see you on February 8th!
