PRESIDENT'S CHATTER
First of all a reminder that Tuesday, December 7, will be our annual
BFMA/ARMA holiday meeting. Notices have been sent out and
reservations need to be in by today, December 3. The presenter at this
meeting,
donated to a local charity, as well as any hats or mittens that are donated.
I'm always amazed at not only the number of prizes, but also how talented
our members are! I look forward to seeing many of you at this meeting.
With the holidays closely approaching and many employees in our
organizations taking vacation, December proves to be a month when we can
catch up on work that has been dropping to the bottom of the priority list.
This is an excellent time to begin your planning for activities to complete
next year, as well as to get our own files organized and cleaned up. The
earlier we can begin planning our goals for next year, the sooner we can get
them done and feel that sense of accomplishment. I don't know about all of
you, but the longer I wait to do this, the less I feel very organized and the
higher the stress level becomes. This is also a good time of year to reflect
back on everything you accomplished. I encourage each of you to make a
list of your accomplishments in 2004 and share the joy that you have been
successful and made a difference in the records management profession.
I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!
