Disaster! Workshop
and Program: We use the words
lightly, but think for a moment and ask yourself if you’re ready when a
disaster strikes. Do you know what to
save; what to leave behind? Can you
get your business started up again immediately and smoothly with all the
documentation you need? Are you
prepared to work with no power? Can
you salvage damaged documents? What if
you have to relocate? These are just a few of the questions that arise when we think about
Disaster Preparedness (workshop)
and Disaster Recovery (program).
Of course, there’s an entire industry built around this topic, but
what about the records? They
often get only cursory attention, but are the foundation for rebuilding after
– and during – a disaster. Come hear
Leslie Malek speak about vital records programs, prioritization of salvage
efforts, basic techniques for salvage and recovery, and more. Speaker: LESLIE MALEK is a native of Ms. Malek
is a Senior Records Analyst, for the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) 2003-Present. She provides assistance, advice, and
guidance to Federal agencies on their agency records programs. She teaches a
variety of courses to educate Federal employees on management of
records/records systems. She participates on national Make your reservations in several ways: Call Chrissy Stroberger at:
