October Tour:

PRESIDENT'S BLOG
By Ana Aquino-Pérez

October is a busy month for ARMA. First, remember to register for our first
program of the year, next Tuesday, October 10. We will be touring the State of
Wisconsin State Records Center where we will have the opportunity to watch a
demonstration of the Versatile Enterprise Software. After the demonstration, we
will be lunching at the Irish Waters restaurant.

The annual ARMA International Conference will take place in San Antonio, Texas,
from October 22-25. If you have a chance to attend, I strongly encourage you to do
so and take advantage of this opportunity. If you are attending the conference, don't
forget to join our Great Lakes Region Chapter Member of the Year Toast where the
region recognizes and toasts those that have received their chapter's highest honor
including our very own ­ Ruth Breunig. Please, contact Pam Duane if you plan to
attend the toast. In addition, don't forget the annual tradition of exchanging chapter
pins at the conference. If you need some of our chapter pins to take part in this ritual,
contact Diane Vultaggio. She will provide with you with a few of our chapter's pins
for you to exchange.

Our chapter Web site will go live within the next couple of weeks. We will be letting
you know as soon as it goes live so that you can check it out. You will find many
new things on the new Web site, and of course, we are always open for feedback for
additional improvement.

Finally, we just finished drafting the chapter's five-year strategic plan and will be
publishing it within the next couple of weeks. We will be looking for volunteers to
work on the committees that will help us implement the plan's goals and initiatives.
Some of the strategic goals of the plan include promoting awareness of ARMA
Madison within the community and promoting and advancing the professional RIM
competence of our members. We are sure this plan will help us meet some of the
needs of our members and our business community.

I hope you enjoy the activities set up for this month and look forward to seeing you
soon.
