Dear members, friends and colleagues: The new Chapter year brings a new board, new challenges, and new opportunities. We are already off to a flying start with a wide variety of professional and social events. I’d like to take this opportunity to put a “spotlight” on a few of the Board’s Committees by describing what they are currently working on to make this a successful Chapter year! The Professional Development Committee is focusing on a wider range of subject matter but with a central theme of information governance. In addition to delivering quality presentations, the meetings will focus more on member interaction and participation. In order to continue delivering value to members, the Sponsorship Committee is actively looking for additional sponsor partners. I am pleased to announce that Nuix, the outstanding IG and e-Discovery company, became our first annual significant sponsor across the entire year! Finally, I am really excited to announce the creation of the Chief Information Officer role. In addition to recrafting and managing the technology infrastructure of the Chapter, CIO Gene Stakhov and his Committee members are also working on some technology surprises to more efficiently service our members. Our ambitious mission this year would be unattainable without the chemistry and camaraderie that fuels non-profit organizations. We aim to dial up the fun and enjoyment factor as we progress through the year. Bryn Bowen, CRM President, ARMA Metro NYC Chapter
