Michael Haley, President - ARMA Board of Directors Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday celebrating (safely) with family and friends. As we head into 2022, there are so many exciting opportunities for ARMA members. As you can see throughout this month’s Info Pro newsletter, ARMA members have the opportunity to not only shape our organization but give back to the information management community as well. ARMA members attended the Meet the Candidates forum on January 19th and heard from our candidates on their ideas and for all eligible members to vote during the election period January 17-February 7. If you are looking for ways to get more involved in the profession, consider the many volunteer opportunities at ARMA. You can serve as a mentor to members rising in their careers, speak at an upcoming event, or give your input on future programs. Volunteering not only helps enhance the ARMA community but also provides you with additional professional development and networking opportunities.
