GWDC ARMA CHAPTER MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - KATIE VOLDAL |
|
|
Katie Voldal is the Senior Manager, Information Governance for Sidley Austin, LLP Katie moved to the DC area in 1988 and answered a help wanted ad (yes, back then job openings were posted in an actual newspaper) that stated that neat handwriting was a requirement. Katie worked retail all of her life and had just left a job as an inventory control clerk for a department store in Michigan where inventory was done by handwriting the information onto forms. Katie started as a File Clerk and worked her way up to Director over the course of over 23 years at that firm. Like many others, she really just fell into the profession. She's a compulsively neat and organized person and RIM/IG absolutely speaks to my DNA. She fully embraced everything about RIM/IG by earning her CRM in 1998, filling just about every position available in the local chapter in those early years, obtaining a master’s degree in Law Firm Management in 2011, earning a IGP in 2015, a CIPP in 2019 and continually challenged herself to learn and stay current with the changes to our field. |

| | Every day, we create and receive records and data at volumes we never anticipated just a few short years ago.

Download our education webinar eBook, which distills our top findings and recommendations from the series. | | |

From boxes of records to old workstations, the unmined data assets in your business contain vital insights you can use to grow. Our 2020 webinar series explores how you can use this physical foundation to drive your digital potential. | | |
