Michael Haley, President - ARMA Board of Directors ARMA’s decision to move to a virtual-only conference this year was a very difficult and disappointing one for me personally and for all of the Board members. Despite our desire to meet in person once again and share in the camaraderie of our fellows, we concluded that the health and safety of our members and all those who support the conference could be at risk for contracting the Covid virus if we were to continue with the in-person portion of our event.. In the interest of individual and public safety, we will be meeting virtually this October – together we can defeat this virus if we all do our part!! We have an exciting program in place that I think you will find stimulating, along with some fun, interactive events. I hope to “see” you there, as well as next year when our conference moves to Nashville. Michael Haley President ARMA Board of Directors Michael.Haley@armaintl.org | | |

The volume and variety of electronically stored information (ESI) is increasing at the same time as regulation, rules, and court mandates. Internationally, eDisclosure is on the rise, while in the U.S., well over half of the states include an ethical mandate or suggestion of technical competence. Many legal and technical professionals understand part, but not all, of the electronic discovery process. Other new entrants need a complete foundation to support on-boarding. To avoid ethical lapses and keep with the standard of practice, legal professionals at all levels need eDiscovery Executive Certificate (eDEx) training.
