ARMA Members As always the first quarter of the year is an exciting time for ARMA – we voted for the new board members who will be joining the ARMA Board of Directors in July, the 3rd annual IG Maturity Index Report has just been published, and later this week registration for InfoCon 2022 opens! Next week our Board of Directors meet for our semi-annual meeting and will be focused on reviewing the strategic plan for ARMA International. As we continue to evolve as an organization, our priority is always to ensure that we are providing value to our members and building a community that people want to join and contribute to. We are excited about the opportunities and path ahead of us. So keep checking your emails and watch your social networks, there’s a lot to more come!
