Starting in July 2013, ARMA International is introducing membership levels so that

you can join and participate as it makes sense for you, your career and your organi-

zation.

Our new membership levels will be broken out in the following categories:

Professional Member ($175): A Professional member will have all of the perks

of our current member and then some. Professional Members get discounts on

all of the resources ARMA International provides. They receive a print sub-

scription to our Information Management magazine. And most importantly, Professional members will have 24/7 access to all of ARMA International’s On-

Demand web seminars, free of charge – a catalog of more than 250 cutting-

edge topics all at your fingertips, when you need answers to your most press-

ing questions. This is ideal for any member who is familiar with information

governance and can benefit from substantial discounts on education and re-

sources.

Associate Member ($95): This is our first step into membership, recommend-

ed for students and retired professionals. Associate Members can join an AR-

MA International chapter and have access to an electronic version of our award

-winning Information Management magazine. It’s a great way for those new to

information management to get up to speed and see what ARMA International

can do for them.

Friend of ARMA ($0): In the past, we’ve considered nonmembers to be only

customers. But they’re so much more than that. They are our friends and our

colleagues, and we’re happy to provide them with the resources and education

they need.

Look for communication arriving soon in your mailbox and inbox with even more

information on ARMA International’s membership structure. As you renew your membership in the next year, we are happy to help you navigate the changes and

MMESSAGEESSAGE FROMFROM THETHE PPRESIDENTRESIDENT

The leaves are turning, pumpkins are popping up around town, and

we’re hurriedly moving into the last quarter of the calendar year. But the Tidewater ARMA Chapter year has just begun and we are already experiencing change. Our elected President, Vivian Washington, re-

signed her position due to additional professional commitments. Our by-laws dictate that the Vice President assume the responsibilities of President when there is a vacancy in that position – so here I am!

The Board met September 24 to fill the vacancy this created in the Vice Presidency, and we welcome Kim Kindrew, CRM, with much appreciation for as-

suming this appointed role. Vivian served us well in her brief presidency, bringing new vision and enthusiasm to

what Tidewater ARMA could accomplish under her leadership. One of her initiatives was to establish clear charges and achievement benchmarks for our standing committees. A

description of the committees and the benchmarks approved by the Board are included in this newsletter. Our committees are staffed by member volunteers – so please give of yourself to the success of this organization. Find your committee niche and PARTICI-

PATE! If you missed the September meeting, you missed a fun but detailed look at marketing

your records management program. As records managers we maximize the utility of rec-ords through the systematic retention and disposition of business information. That’s

what you do every day! We must effectively communicate the valuable resource we are within our organizations, and Kim Kindrew, CRM, of Jefferson Labs helped us focus on ways to do just that. Building on the marketing of our programs, this month Bruce

White, CRM, of Old Dominion University will help us with project management for rec-ords managers. Join us for his presentation on Tuesday, October 15, at Bensi Restau-rant in Hampton. We start with registration and

appetizers at 5:30 p.m. RSVP today!

I’m looking forward to seeing you . . .

Managing records and information is an essential element to the competitiveness and accountability of an

organization. It is the very foundation of good information governance. It’s time to promote the value of RIM!

ARMA International has developed promotional materials to help records management professionals pro-mote the value of proper records and information management practices within their organizations. The fol-

lowing tools have been created to help promote the importance of RIM in any organization. More infor-

mation is available at http://www.arma.org/r1/publications/promote-rim.

The Most Recent RIM Promotion Poster:

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF has a whole new meaning.

It’s no secret that information is one of the most vital, strategic assets organizations possess and making

sure your information is secure has never been a more important task.

Use this poster to help senior executives and all of your organization’s employees understand that infor-

mation security is everyone’s responsibility. As more of our organization’s information is portable, each em-ployee must be vigilant. Help spread the word in your office with the next issue awareness poster from AR-
