2016-2017 Exchange Jan/Feb 2017 exchange | Page 5

Dear Readers :
As I write this column , Spring is just around the corner . One of the significant events held by the Chapter on the cusp of Spring is the All- Day Educational Event . This year the focus is “ RIM and IG for Today and Tomorrow ”. Besides the high quality presenters ( Bill Saffady , anyone ?), participants will enjoy the diverse subject matter that is covered . Click on this link for additional information .
In this issue , the featured article focuses on the top five trends in information management for 2017 . I have also chosen to re-run a popular short-take from a prior issue that addresses the question , “ Is ECM needed for effective information governance ?”. This , of course , would only be one of the needed components . ( You can see that I would answer yes to this question !)
Looking ahead , the video series featuring an IG Practitioner discussing standing up an IG program at her company will resume in the next issue . The topic will be the challenges associated with the process and how they were addressed .
As always , I welcome your feedback . Please also contact me if you are interested in contributing content to exchange .
