“RM and its Role Responding to Public Records, Discovery & Subpoenas”

Program: Compliance with requests for information is important not only in governmental settings, but is also crucial to managing risk in a corporate environment.

This is particularly true when it comes to electronic records. Our speakers will discuss the important role records management plays in this arena
