Invitation for ARMA Members - What Can ARMA Do For You?
By Doug Allen, CRM, CDIA+ | July 1, 2008
This posting is designed to invite those who read this blog to participate in determining ARMA International’s future direction. As some may be aware, ARMA has a Strategic Plan. That plan provides the foundation of activities and programs that are designed to serve both the profession of Records and Information Management and the members of the Association. Thus, it directly affects what ARMA is doing for you - as an ARMA member.
Your participation is important. It provides the Strategic Planning Committee with your thoughts helps us determine what we want to see for our profession (our vision), what we are all about - or what we do (our mission), our goals, and the issues that we address. I won’t go into detail about the entire planning process, but the Committee will meet between August 1 and 3 in Kansas City. At that meeting, we’ll review our existing strategy, determine where we want to go from here, and what we’ll be doing in the future - beginning next July (yes - July, 2009).
For those interested in seeing and learning what the planning process is all about and what our plan provides for today, please check this link, and log into the ARMA International Members site. That provide you with what the Strategic Planning Committee has established as our plan, as of today. Let us know what you think by linking to the survey located at the bottom of that link in so far as the key issues are concerned. The text at the bottom of that page reads as follows: “Tell us what you think.”
You can tell us more, however than just those issues on which we should focus time, attention and monetary resources. You can participate in a full discussion regarding all aspects of the plan, and can help determine what ARMA will do for you and for other members of the profession in future years. In order to go beyond the survey responses, I invite you to click on the link for this blog site, entitled “Forums” on the top right corner of this page. If you’d like to register and to provide us with your comments, questions, etc., just register - provide just a bit of information (ensuring that you’re over the age of 13), your email address, and I’ll ensure that your registration is approved. The only limitation that I’ll point to here is that we’re seeking input from members of ARMA International, thus in order to have your registration approved, you must be an ARMA member.
If you do that, your comments, questions and issues will be raised directly with those responsible for determining ARMA’s future. We’ll be better able to determine what is most important to you and what we can do for you.
Thank you in advance for considering participating in the Forum on ARMA Strategic Planning - I look forward to your contribution!
