Great NW Region Message for January

I trust everyone had a joyous holiday season and your celebrations were merry and full of family and friends and memories. In my family we celebrate Christmas and each year brings another tradition that builds memories. A couple of years ago we started making sprinkle cookies in honor of Grandma W (my mother-in-law), sugar cookies with sprinkles were one of the things she really wanted when we visited her during her last Christmas with us. Each year we now make sprinkle cookies for Grandma W and they go on the plate for the cookies for Santa. This year I started a new tradition, in honor of those who are no longer with us, we placed ornaments they gave me (or the kids) in a prominent place on the tree. In 2010 I lost two very dear people to me, my Grandmother who was 95 and a friend I have known for over 37 years (we started pre-kindergarten together many, many years ago!). While unwrapping the ornaments I came across one my Grandmother gave me when I was a baby and one my friend gave me in 1977. We also found ornaments that my mother-in-law gave the kids that last Christmas we were with her. All were placed on the tree and we were able to share the holidays with them, although they are no longer with us physically. These are memories I hope my children will share with their families long into the future.

Memories are key to our well-being. Good memories boost your spirit, give you that little extra something to make it through hard times or just the end of the day. Even bad memories can be good, they remind to not do something that could cause harm. And even sad memories can turn into something good. My mom and I had some great laughs while unwrapping those ornaments about some of the crazier things my friend and I had done when we were young (like trying to dry our shoes on the grill over a campfire and melting the nylon laces together!). Some of my best memories involve family and that includes my ARMA family. Family isn’t just those we are related to, it’s those that touch our lives and leave a meaningful impression on them. Family can include neighbors, friends, your children’s friends (we have one of Rebecca’s friends over so often she seems like a cousin!), even co-workers or ARMA associates can become part of your extended family. There are many individuals in my chapter who have been there through thick and thin, weddings, births, etc. and shared in those events in my life and I have shared in their lives as well. These are memories that I will cherish and I appreciate all those that have taken a part in them. So to everyone I want to say thank you for the memories, for helping my well-being and wishing you a memory filled 2011. And I hope you all will take the time in 2011 to thank those that have become part of your family and wish them a happy and healthy 2011.

Ok, now for GNW Region business! In 2011, the Region will be holding a joint meeting! What does this mean? It means that every chapter in the region will be able to attend a meeting at the same time in their home city! There is a planning committee meeting now to discuss the details for the topic and exactly how the meeting will be distributed to chapter members. We are really looking forward to this opportunity and hope it will serve as a jumping point for many more to come. Please keep an eye out for announcements and plan to attend your chapter meeting for this event.

Munters is now Polygon

Fellow Greater Seattle ARMA member would like to announce.....

Munters MCS Division changes name to POLYGON

1st November 2010
MCS, a global leader in property damage restoration and temporary humidity control services, today announces that the company is changing name to Polygon. The name change will be effective from November 1, 2010.
Stockholm, Sweden – 1st November, 2010 – On 1st October 2010, the MCS division was separated from Munters Group and established as an independent company; one with a strong growth agenda and a dedicated focus on the property damage restoration and THC markets. As part of the separation from Munters the company will change name to Polygon. Polygon is already an established brand for us in the Nordic region.
Michael Berg, CEO of Polygon comments, “Currently we operate under a few different brand names across the world, and with our vision for our company of significant investment and growth in mind, we have taken the opportunity to create a unified new name and distinct global brand for ourselves. In deciding upon the new name, it was important to us that we do not lose the great reputation we have and it is our strong belief that our new name must come directly from what we do, how we do it and how it benefits our people and our customers.”
About Polygon
Polygon, formerly a division within Munters, offers a full range of solutions for the prevention and mitigation of the effects of fire, water and humidity. The company provides 24 hour coverage, delivered by an international network of over 2,000 skilled employees in 15 countries to ensure a rapid, right first time response that mitigates loss and effectively manages cost.

Region Message for December 2011

As of this writing, I have just returned from San Francisco and the 55th ARMA International Conference and Expo. My shuttle to SeaTac airport picked me up at 4:50 a.m. on Friday the 5th. Good thing I had a chance to snooze on the plane. From the time we landed in San Francisco until we took off heading for home the following Wednesday, it was non-stop. After two days of Region Managers and Coordinators strategic planning meetings, meeting with the ARMA Board of Directors, the Awards Luncheon, Chapter Leadership and the Welcome Party…whew (deep breath), the Conference and Expo started in earnest. Again, there were great sessions, lots to learn on the vendor floor and a great time to be had. And there’s much to do in the evenings! The Canadian Party is always one of my favorites.
This year Jenny and I were thrilled to be joined by 32 members from our region for a region lunch. All of our chapters were well represented just as all of our chapters were well represented at the conference. The estimated overall attendance of the conference was approximately 1500 of which 113 were from our region! Way to go Great Northwest! But the best part of the lunch was honoring our award winners. And we had a lot to celebrate!
First, hats off to all of you who are your chapter’s Member of the Year. We cheered and applauded when your names were up on the big screen. You will be receiving an award from ARMA International soon.
ARMA instituted some new awards this year. Next up was chapter Leaders of the Year. Again we cheered an applauded! You will also be receiving an award from ARMA soon.
Other new awards included Chapter Recruitment Awards. These went to chapters who finished their year with more members than they started the year with. In today’s economy, that’s quite an accomplishment! Congratulations to the Columbia Basin and Greater Anchorage Chapters for achieving this!
The Chapter Participation Award is another new one. While many chapters are scratching their heads wondering how to increase participation, our Greater Seattle Chapter has excelled at it. Good going Seattle!
Then there are the new Special Merit Awards. These awards set certain criteria for chapters to achieve. There are awards at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. A chapter must accomplish everything on the Bronze level before moving up to Silver and then Gold. No chapters in ARMA have reached the Gold level yet and only 2, yes, only TWO have made it to the Silver Merit Award. Congratulations to the Greater Anchorage Chapter for receiving the Silver Merit Award!
And then it was time for Newsletter-of-the-Year presentations. You’ll remember that last year Boise Valley won in the medium chapter category while Oregon took home the large chapter honors. Could they repeat?? You’d better believe they did!! Congratulations to BVC and Oregon and especially Amity Highly and Jane McGarvin, their newsletter editors! Wow. You really shined!
But the greatest honor of them all came the next day during the opening ceremonies. There is no higher honor in all of ARMA than to be admitted to the Company of Fellows of ARMA International. There are very few individuals ever admitted into that elite company. This year, ARMA admitted number 44. Long overdue, the Company of Fellows has admitted to its ranks a favorite son of the Great Northwest Region. Please join me in congratulating Dave McDermott, CRM, FAI. Well deserved Dave!!
So what more can I say? I had a great time. I learned a lot. I met up with some old friends and made some new ones. And once again, as always, I was very proud to be a part of the greatest region, the Great Northwest Region!

Marc

ARMA Great Nortwest Region Chapter Message for November 2010

Wow, hard to believe it is already November and we are 3 months into the beginning of another ARMA year! I hope everyone had a great summer and enjoyed the more temperate weather this year. I particularly enjoyed the not too hot weather, but yet still warm enough to have lots of picnic dinners outside with the kids and the deer. I know, deer aren’t very exciting, when we visit my father-in-law in the mountains of North Carolina, they are all over the place. But when you live in the middle of suburban Kirkland with two young children, this is a major event! The few appearances it made this summer were a big deal at our house and we have enjoyed seeing how the deer has changed from May to our last sighting about a month ago. It was young and small and is now very large and has beautiful antlers. Of course this lead to a discussion with my oldest child about how things change over time and change can mean growth and new opportunities. For example, the deer grew “pretty” antlers and his height let him to the new opportunity to eat some of the leaves off our crabapple tree. This year brings a change to the GNW Region Team. As you may recall, Marc mentioned at the end of the 2009-2010 year that our former Region Treasurer’s term was coming to an end. I know Marc included words of thanks to Cindy Fredrickson in his final Region message last year, but I wanted to take a few minutes to also thank Cindy for her dedication and hard work on keeping our books on track. She was extremely helpful during the 2010 Region Conference in tracking registration payments and coordinating our PayPal account (I know many attendees appreciated being able to pay on-line!). Many thanks to you Cindy! And with this change, came an opportunity for Marc and I to reach out to our GNW members to fill Cindy’s shoes, and we are happy to announce that Tim Hunt, also with the Oregon Chapter, has agreed to serve as Region Treasurer. Tim has served in many positions in the Oregon Chapter, including a stint as President. Marc and I are looking forward to working with Tim and welcome him to the Region Team!
Fall is also the time that brings the ARMA International Annual Conference. This year the location has changed to the West Coast (anyone remember the last time ARMA was on the West coast……..Vegas doesn’t count!)? From November 7th to 10th San Francisco is about to be invaded by records and information management professionals to explore new opportunities and presentations in records management. I for one am looking forward to the change of flight times from 6 hours to 2! There are lots of great sessions being held at conference, it’s going to be hard to choose which to attend but I never miss an opportunity to see current and former GNW members so I definitely have those sessions circled. As in years past we will be coordinating a GNW no-host luncheon for those attending. If you are going to be in San Fran for the conference, please let either Marc or I know and we’ll keep an eye out for you. We will scout out the area for potential lunch places and make sure to post a note on the event board they usually have near the registration area.
Fall is about change....for many of our Chapters, leadership may have changed. But there is one thing that is constant….the opportunities to learn from new programs and presenters, informative newsletters and resourceful websites! I hope you take the opportunity to embrace any changes you have going on and see how they can be an opportunity for you!

A Message From the Great Northwest Region

A Message From the Great Northwest Region…

Ask any program chair or anyone who has chosen speakers for a seminar or conference. Trying to find a balance of topics that appeal to members of varying levels of expertise is quite a challenge. Next, factor in our ailing economy. Fewer members are receiving financial support from their employers. For many chapters, attendance at meetings and seminars has been down. The result is less revenue for the chapters to provide programs and seminars. And while the revenues from such events have been down, the cost to put them on has risen. Now add this wrinkle. The Baby Boomer generation is retiring and more and more Generation X and Y people are members and assuming leadership roles in our organization. We Boomers love our monthly meetings. We love the face to face interaction. It is how we networked for years. But the Gen X and Y people grew up in an electronic world. They want things fast, quick, and on demand. Many would opt for a webinar versus a seminar. And their preferred networking is on Facebook versus face to face. Boomers meet, they tweet. There’s nothing wrong with either. We’re just a bit different. So how do we, the chapter and region leaders blend those things together to provide quality education to all of you? And when I say all of you, I mean all of you. We have a number of members in our region who don’t attend monthly meetings because they live too far away to do so. It wasn’t until I visited the Greater Anchorage Chapter last May that I realized that their members in Fairbanks are an 8- hour drive away. The members in Juneau can’t even drive to Anchorage. The only way to travel between the two cities is by boat or by air. And similar situations are repeated in all four states. How do we provide educational opportunities to all of you? This is the very question that we tackled last June when the chapter and region leadership met for our annual GNW Leadership Conference. I am very pleased to tell you that from our discussion, we formed a task force. Their goal is to put on an educational program that will be sent out to as many of the members of the region at the same time as possible. Just imagine our eight or so members in Fairbanks getting together and ordering pizza, the folks in Seattle brown bagging it and our friends in Boise sitting down to a buffet, while we all watch the same program. It is an ambitious undertaking. But it’s one that once successful, could open new avenues to bringing fresh programs and speakers to our members, wherever they are! I am very excited about that.

While we’re on the subject of educational opportunities, I should mention that the 55th Annual ARMA International Conference and Expo is right around the corner. This year it will be just a bit later than usual. If at all possible, I urge you to attend this premiere event. Check out the details at arma.org. I hope to see you all November 7-10 at the Moscone Center West in San Francisco!
Another point that we discussed at Leadership last June was how to attract the younger professionals into our organization. How do we reach them? We reach them on their “turf”. The Great Northwest Region is looking into our own page on Facebook. From there we hope to point people to our region website.

Speaking of our website, have you visited it lately? If you haven’t, you should! Our webmaster, Denise Simons, has been very busy working to make the site a more valuable asset for all of us. It’s looking great and some new features are coming soon, so check it out at armagreatnorthwest.org.

The ARMA of the future will certainly look different than the ARMA of the past. We in the Great Northwest Region leadership are doing all we can to meet the needs of all of our members. If you have a new idea or a suggestion on how we can improve on an old one, please let us know!

Very truly yours,
Marc J. Simpson, Manager
Great Northwest Region

Region Manager Message

Is it really June already? As another ARMA year comes to a close and I finish my first term as Region Manager, I find myself reflecting back.

I remember how nervous I was when I started out two years ago. Talk about feeling like you’re stranded on an island! Fortunately I have been blessed to be surrounded by great people on the Region Team. That’s made all the difference. So to Fran Blaylock, Jennifer Winkler, Cindy Fredrickson, Deb Martin, Andrea Bettger, and Denise Simons, thank you so much for making this guy look good. And thank you to all of the Chapter Presidents and leaders who have been so great as well. I don’t know if I can find the words to tell all just how great you are.

Ours is, perhaps, the smallest region in ARMA. But we are mighty and very well respected. And that’s due to the dedication and hard work that all of you do. As the chapters all go about acknowledging and thanking the efforts of our members, please allow me to add my thanks to everyone for all you do for ARMA, our region, our chapters, and our profession. YOU are the heart of the Great Northwest Region. While others are struggling a bit, our heart is beating strong!

This time of year is always bittersweet. As we come to the end of the year, we also come to the end of terms of office for many. So it is with some sadness that the Region Team bids farewell to two of our members.

Cindy Fredrickson has done a great job as our Region Treasurer the past two years. I will miss having her on the team. I rather doubt, though, that she will miss me calling her to ask “Do we have money for…” or worse, “I think I lost my receipt”. Thanks for bearing with me, CL.

Deb Martin has served the Great Northwest Region for many years now. Those of you who are new may not know, but Deb was our first official Region Manager. She has been a valuable resource for me and has served admirably the past two years as our Director of Marketing. Thank you Deb.

The sweetness comes in welcoming new members to the Region Team. As you can see, we have two openings. If you are interested, please e-mail me!

Our 2010 Leadership Conference is just around the corner, June 11-12 in Bellevue. Although they are our primary focus, Leadership isn’t just for those on the Boards. It’s for any of our members who want to learn new leadership skills! There is still time to register! Check our website for details.

This has been another great year. We attended a number of excellent chapter programs. We attended a fantastic ARMA Conference in Orlando where we cheered our lungs out for our Medium and Large Newsletter-of-the-Year winners, The Boise Valley Chapter and the Oregon Chapter. We held a very successful Region Conference in April. And we welcomed new members, made new friends, and had a lot of fun! Good job everyone!!

Have a wonderful summer and we’ll see you in the fall. 

Very truly yours,

 

Marc J. Simpson, Manager

  The Action Imperative: The New Role of RIM Professionals in the Emerging World of Legal, Business, and Technology Confluence
  Jonathan Redgrave, Nixon Peabody LLC
  Today’s trends in business and technology point towards a world enmeshed in social media and collaborative technologies. The legal constructs behind records and information management as well as legal preservation and production duties have struggled to keep pace. This session provides an overview of these developments and what it means to be RIM professionals today.
• 2:30-3:30 p.m. CST U.S. (GMT-6)
  Are the Hatfield's (Business Records) and McCoy's (Medical Records) in Fact Close Relatives?
  Hon. Ronald Hedges, Ronald J. Hedges, LLC
  Linda Kloss, American Health Information Management Association
  Historically the management of business records and medical records was viewed like oil and water…definitely different. In today’s world of e-records, do all records have common attributes, where business and medical records are closely related with “DNA” bonds of commonality? Can improved management processes for one type of e-record apply to all types of e-records?

ARMA presents Social Networking: a panel discussion

ARMA presents Social Networking: a panel discussion

May 6, 2010, the Greater Seattle Chapter of ARMA (the Association of Records Managers and Administrators) presented a panel discussion about social networking and corporate policy. The panel featured Rod Brooks, VP and Chief Marketing Officer, PEMCO Insurance; Sharon Johnson, Public Records Officer city of Seattle-Legislative Department; and Andrew SanAgustin, Records Manager, Foster Pepper Law office.

The shared focus of the panel was on the need to monitor and/or regulated the use of social media when conducting business. The panel discussed points that were outlined in their established policies and relevant to the needs of each entity. There clearly was a differing perspective on the pros and cons of the use of social media in relation to business.

Johnson, describe digital media as being used as a communication tool between officials and the public. She also explained that there were elements of concern in regards to what social media was used for; for example she stated that certain laws prevent legislators from communicating with each other via social media to conduct official business. She went on to say that when social media is used to conduct official business it would be considered public records.

According to the Legislative Department Policy, “Any content maintained in social media format… that is related to City business, including communication between an individual Councilmember and constituent or the general public, and site’s listing of “friends” or “followers”, may be considered a public record subject to disclosure under the state Public Records Act.” These records would be considered for long term retention as required by the applicable records retention criteria.

Johnson shared a case where there was an inquiry regarding a council member who was texting and facebooking during session. She explained that the information became public records because it was done during official business.

SanAgustin, cautioned, it is how information is “interpreted” and becomes solid. He was asked by an attorney if text records could be acquired for a case where an employer wanted to terminate an employee. The employer had texted about that employee in a negative light and wanted to be sure that the information could not be obtained in court. SanAgustin replied “you bet they can”. He went on to say that once information is out there, it is out there. Be mindful of how it will be interpreted. “Once you type something and you write it down you gave it life” and “it becomes solid”.

He touched on the separation between personal and professional social media. He explained that there is no difference. If you are googled that is how you are perceived. It is risky to speak without your company in mind. The Foster Pepper Social Media Policy and Guidelines explains, “If attorneys or staff choose to mention their association with Foster Pepper on any personal site, they should seriously consider the context in which they do so…” “Attorneys and staff are personally responsible for their online posting and solely liable for online posting found to be defamatory, harassing, or in violation of any applicable federal and state law.”

The theme within PEMCO’s Social Media Guidelines and Recommended Practices was light-hearted and emphasized the use of “I” statement versus “PEMCO” statements when differentiating between personal and professional. Brooks suggested that social media policy should address what the company’s objective is when using social media and should emphasize the integrity and ethics of the organization.

Brooks went on to say that it is difficult to divide personal and professional personas and PEMCO encourages their employees to “bring your whole self to work”.

He expressed concern regarding over paranoia and over-control of social media within the confines of business. He encouraged companies to adopt policies with due diligence in mind. PEMCO’s social media guiding principles include “use common sense”, “be thoughtful about how you present yourself in online social networks”, “speak in first person”, “use good judgment”, and “don’t forget your day job”.

Over all, the panelist agreed that social media had significant business advantages. Also, the policies should include guidelines that reflect the company’s ethics and culture, as well as, regulatory requirements. The policy should demonstrate due diligence.

In the realm of records management there is a degree of caution in what we consider to be permanent records and what we consider to be recreational conversation. We are no longer in an era where there is time to show discretion at ever communication corner. Who we are professional and who we are personally is not defined as two separate personas anymore. It is clear that in the world of business, social media is out there being used in several forms; it is now a matter of how we conduct ourselves when using it, how it is received, captured, and retained that is up for discussion.

Presidential Candidate
My name is Andrew J. SanAgustin and currently I am the Records and Conflicts Manager with Foster Pepper PLLC, a Seattle based full service law firm. I have been in the RIM field over 15 years, and have worked in different industries including Banking, Real Estate, Accounting,
Government, and Legal. I have been involved with ARMA for most of my career, and I have been a Board member of the Greater Seattle Chapter for three years. In 2009-2010, I will be moving into the Vice President role. I am also a member of AIIM and ALA, and I spearhead the Seattle LISG (Legal Industry Specific Group).

Vice President
I am Rachael Heade and have been part of the Corporate Records Management team at Microsoft for a little more than 10 years. As the Sr. Program Manager responsible for Document Retention I manage both the policy and operational aspects of Microsoft’s Document Retention Program. This includes the provision of both domestic and international guidance; maintaining the retention schedule and policy as well as the day-to-day operational activities. In addition, I have formalized and implements the document and information asset transition for all mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.Prior to Microsoft, I worked with the Federal Grant Administrator for the City of Everett, a small municipality 35 miles north of Seattle and spent numerous years as a consultant to local, state and federal agencies in the area of transportation funding, planning, and regulatory compliance.When not working I enjoy dog sledding in Northern British Columbia, reading, knitting, and the addictive Sudoku.

I earned my Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies with an emphasis on collections care and conservation, primarily archival collections and historical photography, from San Francisco State University in 2005.

Secretary
I am Kathy Beck joined Casey Family Programs in 1999, from the desire to align my professional career with my extensive volunteer work in the adoption community. I had previously worked in a law firm setting, assisting injured employees who were trying to navigate the worker's compensation system. A company reorganization involving office closures drove records management to the top of the "to do" list at Casey and I was asked to do a project related to the new Records Retention Policy. Ultimately, I found myself in the position of “accidental” records manager – something that is not uncommon in this industry. As Records Custodian for Casey Family Programs, I am responsible for responding to all third party records requests in addition to implementation and compliance activities. I am grateful to ARMA and ARMA members for the support I’ve received to transition into this role over the past few years. I believe we all have something to share, and I look forward to learning more about our community as well as how to support our community.

I enjoy spending time with his grandchildren, eating breakfast on Saturday at Isadora's in Snoqualmie and writing stories.
