Welcome to the ARMA Mid-Atlantic Region and its Webpage!  This is my first article as the Region Manager and the timing is perfect for announcing the recent award winners at the 52nd Annual ARMA Conference in Baltimore, MD. 

 

The webpage you are currently viewing was awarded Region Website of the Year and tied for this honor with the Pacific Region!    The following are other awards awarded to chapters in our region:

            Chapter Website of the Year

            Gaithersburg Chapter, Medium Chapter

            Newsletter of the Year

            Gaithersburg Chapter, Medium Chapter

            Liberty Bell Chapter, Large Chapter
           
Chapter of the Year – Honorable Mention

            Northern Virginia Chapter, Large Chapter

 

Please congratulate your fellow region chapters on their accomplishments!  If your chapter has not been participating in the awards competition, please do not hesitate to participate and also reach out to these chapters to get their insight and their advice.  We have some very nice looking websites in our region, so please complete your letter of intent before November 1, 2007. 

 

October 8, 2007 was a milestone worthy of comment.  The Diamond State Chapter celebrated its 25th Chapter Anniversary at The Christiana Hilton in Newark, Delaware.  Congratulations to Diamond State. 

 

I am very proud to be a part of this region   At the Baltimore conference, we had one of the best attended networking receptions sponsored by our friends, InfoCurrent and Kruysman-Redweld. 

 

The grassroots effort of each of your chapters is commendable and the teamwork was clearly obvious during the Baltimore conference.  Many volunteers from a majority of the region’s chapters helped where they were needed.  I thank the Baltimore Chapter for showcasing our region so beautifully! 

 

It appears we have two chapters submitting bids for the 2008 Region Leadership Conference so look for the request to vote soon. 

 

I encourage each of you to keep our records management profession growing by supporting your chapter and its educational programs. 

 

Cheers to another great year for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

 

Warm regards,
