Cutting Edge Issues in Information Governance:
A Lawyer's Perspective

 with speaker

Jason R. Baron, Director of Litigation, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)

About this event
Please join ARMA NOVA for the first chapter meeting of the 2011-2012 chapter season.  Our program theme for this season is “From Records Management to Information Governance.”  We will be exploring how we as RIM professionals need to expand our focus beyond records retention and disposition, to a full range of lifecycle management governance strategies and processes.  Our speaker for this meeting is Jason Baron, Director of Litigation at NARA and a highly respected expert on information governance. 

With each passing year, the exponentially increasing volume of electronically stored information stored in private and public institutions continues to pose a greater challenge to organizations attempting to meet legal, investigatory and compliance demands.   This presentation will highlight a few of the hottest trends and topics at the intersection of records management, information governance, and e-discovery, from a lawyer's perspective.  Included for discussion will also be a new Commentary on information governance issued from The Sedona Conference®, entitled "Finding the Hidden ROI in Information Assets."
