Dear Readers:
Recently the Chapter and our sister Chapters held our signature edu-
cational conference. The theme this year was, "RIM and IG for Today
and Tomorrow". I am pleased to announce that it was well-attended
and all around a successful event.
During the next two issues, I will be sharing content from the confer-
ence's publication. In this issue is an article focusing on five types of
data risks.
Looking ahead, I will include another article and Bill Saffady's vide-
otaped session regarding the retention of commonly used business
records. It was truly an honor to meet Bill and attend his session. As
you know, he has authored several seminal RIM books, such as,
“Records and Information Management: Fundamentals of Professional
Practice”. I would highly encourage you to save the date for next
year’s conference, which will be held on Tuesday, March 6, 2018.
Also in this issue is the next episode of the "reality" series featuring IG
practitioner Lauren Barnes. In this episode, she speaks about the
challenges she has faced while setting up her company's IG program.
What I love about this series is that it focuses on real life experience
versus being more conceptual in nature.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to urge you to become
active in the Chapter. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities from
working on the Newsletter to event planning to working in information
technology. All of the opportunities translate into professional develop-
ment and resume building experience.
