President’s Message
Hello, ARMA Oklahoma Chapter Members and Friends!
A few weeks ago, on August 14th, the Chapter Board met in Stroud to organize and plan activities for this next Chapter year, and we couldn’t be more motivated about what this year will bring! This is going to be another amazing year for our Chapter! We are driven to bring you inspirational, educational and engaging speakers and current information. This year, our Board has chosen a theme - “Building the AI Ready Information Program”, and it all starts with our first meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 16th!
You all may know that each of our meetings are hybrid with some of them being just virtual, and we have traditionally held in-person meetings in Oklahoma City. For our first meeting this year, we are going to offer an in-person and virtual “watch party” in both Oklahoma City AND Tulsa! This was planned as an opportunity for more of us to gather together at the same time in two locations. Our speaker will be Tom Mighell, COO Contoural, and he will be presenting to us virtually with the topic, "Creating a Modern, Compliant, and Easier-to-Execute Records Retention Schedule for Privacy and AI". We’ve secured meeting locations in both OKC and Tulsa. A meeting announcement email will be sent out in a few days and our website will be updated with all the details for both meeting locations and registration information. I can’t wait!
I am also very pleased to once again announce the addition of our three new board members, Tony Loch as Vice President, Ryan Orcutt and LaVelle Compton as Webmasters. Those positions are vital for our chapter and will provide needed oversight to help our chapter continue to function well into the future. There are many moving parts for the Leadership of our chapter and having extra volunteers helps to equally distribute the responsibilities. If you are a chapter member in good standing and interested in learning and practicing skills of being a leader, we would love to chat with you! ARMA OK Leadership
Please mark your calendars now for September 16th and be on the lookout for the meeting announcement email!
My best,
Michelle Stafford, CRM
