ARMA, the Association of Records Managers & Administrators, is an international organization. It is the authority on managing records and information. The association has approximately 11,000 members from all industries. Go to www.arma.org for more information. Originally, ARMA was the acronym for the Association of Records Managers and Administrators. Over the past several years, however, we have seen a broadening of the profession as records management has become a recognized and integral part of information management which is key to doing business. To reflect the changing environment and this "expansion" of the profession, about four years ago the association's Board of Directors decided to discontinue using ARMA as an acronym and adopted "ARMA International" as a general descriptor of the association. General information about ARMA can be found by going to http://www.arma.org/about/. You can contact anyone of our officers located on the Officers page. For general information you can contact Michelle Vanallen. For website information, contact Wendy Dennis. You can make changes by filling out the Member Update form. There you can update your personal information. You can register for any of our upcoming events by completing our Registration form or contacting Jennifer Redmond via email or by calling (843) 761-8000 Ext. 5145. ARMA membership is $215 for regular membership and $25 for a student or retired membership. Additional chapter dues may apply. To join you can complete the online application or download and mail the membership application. ARMA's memberships and member numbers belong to individual members regardless of who pays for the membership. In the event that an ARMA member has left an organization and the company wishes to redesignate the membership to his or her replacement, ARMA International allows both the previous member and the new employee to hold the same membership for the remainder of the year.
