Important Upcoming Events

I hope you've been enjoying the 2010-11 program year as much as I have. We've heard great presentations on a large number of topics this year. I am especially excited about our next two events:

On March 16th, the President of ARMA International, Inc., Nick De Laurentis, will be joining us to talk about application of the GARP maturity model. For those of you that may be new to ARMA, GARP stands for Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles. Whether you're new to the field or have been around for decades, you won't want to miss this program!

On April 13th, we will be holding our annual Spring Seminar. The Seminar will begin with keynote speaker, Tom Becka. Tom will be bringing together his experiences in radio, stand-up comedy, sales and marketing for his live presentation of, "There's No Business without the Show." It will be a high-energy, entertaining and informative way to kick off the seminar.

For our main speaker this year, we got a little ambitious. We decided to go after one of the most popular speakers on the ARMA circuit, John Isaza, Esq. John will begin with, "7 Steps for Legal Holds of ESI and Other Documents," based on his best-selling book. He will also be discussing new developments in e-discovery rules with emphasis on web 2.0 implications. To cap off the seminar, he will be presenting, "Metadata in Court: What RIM, Legal and IT Need to Know." Thank You to Continuum Worldwide for Sponsoring John Isaza's seminar presentation; we couldn't bring in such a high-quality speaker without your support!!!

The Spring Seminar early-bird registration deadline is next Friday 3/18, so be sure to register by then to take advantage of the discounted rate.

Thank you for being a part of our chapter! I hope to see you next week and/or next month at the Seminar. As always, if you have any questions about your membership or about the chapter, please contact me or any of the board members.

Sincerely,

Mark Graves
President, Nebraska Chapter of ARMA International, Inc.
