CHAPTER TO SPONSOR "OPT-IN" MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
As you may know, ARMA policies prohibit sharing official membership rosters with businesses, marketers, or even members. However, having contact information for other chapter members and sharing one's own is a part of the networking that makes ARMA valuable to so many of us.
The Board of Directors has decided to launch an "Opt-In" Greater Seattle Chapter Membership Directory. We are in the process of identifying the data elements that a person could choose to include (or exclude) in agreeing to be listed in the Directory. We believe it is important for each of us to have control over what data others will have.
Unlike the official roster, maintained by Vice President for Membership, Shelley Boogaard, in coordination with ARMA International, an "Opt-In" Directory will be freely available to all members of the Greater Seattle Chapter. Those who "Opt-In" will, in effect, give their consent to be contacted via the data they provide. One could, for example, limit one's entry to NAME, COMPANY, MAILING ADDRESS, if only postal mail contact is desired, or one could list that, plus TITLE, EMAIL, PHONE(S), and more. Shelley has agreed to take on the overall responsibility for maintaining the "Opt-In" Directory. She may want help from one or more volunteers. Please contact her at sboogaard@riddellwilliams.com if you think you might like to help.
