Message
As our summer comes to a
close, and fall is in the air, I hope this finds you all well, and eager to
help make this another great year for our chapter. Both opportunities and
responsibilities come with your membership in ARMA, and one is the
opportunity to serve your local chapter as a board member. As many of you know, Susan
Hamman is fighting her battle with cancer, and the board has accepted her
resignation as this chapter's Vice-President. We need to fill that
position with a seasoned member, and we are looking for members to step
forward and offer their help. For anyone interested in considering a position
on the board, please just let me know. And remember those Pink & White M & M
candies: For each 8 oz. bag purchased over the
next 2 to 3 months, 50 cents will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation, up to $650,000!!!!!

Imaging 101 With all of the discussion regarding imaging, document
management, and content management, one would believe that all organizations
have adopted imaging technology. This
is far from the truth. This month’s workshop “Imaging 101” will address some
imaging basics such as how to determine whether you are an imaging candidate.
The presentation will also clarify some frequently used imaging terms. Audience participation and questions are
encouraged.
