ARMA International Leadership

   Jason C. Stearns,             

President - ARMA International

 

Last month, in my first message as board president, I spoke a little about the ARMA communities: communities of interest, of place, and of practice. I also noted a “Community of Values” that the board is working on and will fully develop with your eventual input.

 

The ARMA membership in 2018 determined, via survey, that the association’s unique pillars of community derived from the network of local chapters, the certification prep and continuing ed opportunities, the professional standards-setting and best-practice frameworks, and the sharing of current industry news and trends.
