ARMA INTERNATIONAL

ARMA Members

 

I want to say thank you to everyone involved in InfoCon 2022: HQ staff, volunteers, sponsors, speakers, and attendees! We had over 800 attendees representing 25 countries from around the globe. There was truly an International flavor this year, from A to (almost) Z! I talked with folks from Australia, Canada, Ghana, Iceland, Oman, Netherlands, and the UK. It was fitting that we welcomed to the stage our partners from RIMPA Global, Anne Cornish, CEO, and Thomas Kaufold, Chair, to help us announce our joint initiative to establish an international consortium to be the voice of information governance globally. We leveraged our time together at InfoCon 2022 to meet with focus groups to discuss the purpose, benefits, and value of a global consortium relating to information governance, records, and data in hopes we can advocate with a more prominent voice and guide the development of standards and pathways for the profession.

 

The participation and support of our ARMA community continue to make this event a success year after year! It was a pleasure to see so many of you in Nashville, and I hope to see you all in person in Detroit at InfoCon 2023. Until then, let's stay in touch in the myARMA Member Forum!
