Old man winter seems to be returning to what used to be its norm a few years ago
and giving us a taste of true winter. I hope that you are enjoying and surviving this
winter. Although I do enjoy winter and snow for the holidays and for a month or
two, I prefer 70-degree weather with blue skies and lots of sun.
But, what is one to do... life goes on and so does our chapter. We have some new
and exciting programs planned for you for the remainder of this year. Mark your
calendars!
If you are thinking about new ways to approach your company's retention policies,
are in the process of developing new ones or revising your existing ones, or just want
to find a new and more efficient way to deal with your retention schedules, the
February program is one you want to attend. Tim Hughes, CRM, and Pam Duane,
CRM, from MG&E will be leading the program on developing functional records
schedules. Their presentation will take you through the process they went through in
changing over 13,000 record titles from departmental to functional retention
schedules. This is a program you don't want to miss! The program will be held at
American Family Insurance Company on February 19.
The March meeting will deal with e-mail retention issues. It will be our Tri-chapter
program in Fond du Lac. More details will follow soon.
April will be an exciting month! Our Spring Seminar will take place Wednesday,
April 16, at the UW-Madison Fluno Center. The seminar, Building Intellectual
Architecture for Sustainable Records Management Performance, will feature an
in-depth exploration of the architectural elements of a records management system:
retention schedules to manage the "chain of custody" for records and define
disposition rules; policies and procedures for the capture, creation, access, security,
storage, and preservation of records; classification schemes which provide controlled
terminology for describing records; workflows for managing business processes and
defining the flow of information. Seminar facilitators will be Conni Christensen,
principal of Synercon Management Consulting of Sydney, Australia, and our very
own Lori Ashley, Senior Consultant of Cohasset Associates.
