Message
The Thanksgiving Holiday has
come and gone, and I hope that each of you were able to enjoy family, friends
and feast, with a little time to simply relax and enjoy the moment. The
Holiday Season is in full swing, and another year is coming to a close. May
Peace and Happiness carry you through December, and into the New Year. And
don't forget those that are less fortunate. With that in mind, don't forget
to bring items to our December meeting in support of our "Warm
Woolies" project, like socks, gloves/mittens, sweaters, coats, etc. And by the time you read
this, my Rotary Club's annual "Rotary Embraces Kids" project will
be in the books. This year we are sponsoring 59 children, and I want to
personally thank our chapter and Susan Hamman, each contributing $125,
which sponsors one child. I also want to thank the individual chapter members
that volunteered to help the day of the event: Fran Blaylock, Carol Cameron,
Sue Gunderson, Renee Murry and Joe Ramsdell. It's an early start to a
Saturday, and well worth every minute! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Our Joint Meeting with the
Greater Seattle Chapter in November was another very successful evening. It
is always nice to have a full house in attendance, and it was great to see so
many new faces, many of whom were first time attendees! Darlene Curtice, CRM,
gave an excellent presentation, titled "Electronic Records Imperative: RIM
to the Rescue". And what a pleasure it is when the presenter is one of
our own. It just highlights how much local talent we have right here in our
own region. Thanks again Darlene. The planning committee met
again in November to further address the upcoming Joint Spring Seminar,
planned for Friday, April 22, 2005. Speakers have been lined up, and topics
and location are being finalized. Please keep that date open, and plan to
attend what should be an excellent one day seminar. The best ARMA education there
is! Happy Holidays!!! Best regards, Tom Kirschner Around the Sound

time go this year?), a lot of us are busy with traditional year-end RIM
tasks: records destruction, assisting end users that just now are packing up
records for off-site storage (“what is a retention period, anyway?”), and
scrambling to put together a RIM budget that will make it past the CEO’s
administrative assistant’s desk. On
top of that, we’re braving the hordes to find that perfect gift for our loved
ones and friends, put up the tree and lights, prepare for New Year’s Eve
parties, and…whew! I’m exhausted already! The point here is to make sure to take some time off during this busy
rush to relax, think of the things we’re thankful for, and enjoy the
holidays! After all, we have another
busy year ahead of us, sure to be chock-full of regulatory compliance issues,
e-records challenges and alliances to forge with IT and Legal (to name a
few). So, Happy Holidays!!! And, as always, we look forward to you submitting articles, news and
other RIM info to The Eastsider.

Records
Management: Cost and Risk in the Corporate World
Tina Torres, PMP
What is the cost of managing your records and the
risk if you don’t? You have heard about Sarbanes-Oxley, you have heard that
shredding is “bad,” but how do you know whether YOUR company needs to care? Tina Torres, PMP, will show us how to
determine the equation that can help you answer these questions for your
specific business case. Ms.
Torres’ presentation will address these key areas of RIM cost and risk: Ø
How to determine the business need for records
management in your company Ø
The factors to consider when evaluating the risk of changing your
records management program Ø
Learn how records management can benefit
your company Ø
What are the pitfalls to avoid - what works and what doesn’t Christina Torres has 10+ years of

Great Northwest Region Message ~Seasons
Greetings!~ By Dean Koga It’s
hard to believe that the holiday season is already upon us. It’s an exciting time to be with our
friends and family, and to be thankful for everything we have. It’s a time to share with others less
fortunate than ourselves and to seek out those special gifts to give to the
people we love. Wherever you spend the
holidays, may they be happy and safe. As we
start out the New Year, I hope you will give some thought to support ARMA by
some means, such as, volunteering, attending meetings, supporting the
Educational Foundation, speaking at a meeting, or referring a new member. Our
chapter meetings are well on their way for another year, as well as the plans
for our Region Conference in 2006. The
conference will be held in Remember,
December 20 is the deadline for sending speaker’s proposals for the ARMA
International Conference to be held in If you

Chapter as well as Doug Allen, Cindy LeMay and Deb Marshall are running for Association Director
while Carol Choksy, Susan McKinney and Helen Streck are candidates for the
association’s President-Elect position.
It is important that you vote.

race in the State of The
ARMA International Educational Foundation (AIEF) is still not fully funded so
your donations are very important and are tax deductible. The Foundation funded two research projects
this past year. They are “Discovery, Spoliation, and Legal Holds:
Issues Affecting Your RIM Policies” by John Isaza, Esq. and “Access Rights to Business Data on
Personal Computers” by John Montana, J.D. I wish
you all a happy holiday and best wishes in the coming year. Dean Koga, Great Northwest Region Coordinator
