Hello Everyone!
As you all know, this is my last year as Region Manager of the Great Northwest Region. It is with some sadness that I will be leaving this role on July 1st , 2012. I have grown to love our region and the many wonderful colleagues and friends I have made within it. But life moves on. Beginning July 1st, the GNW Region will need a new manager.
I am very pleased to announce that Jennifer Winkler has been appointed by ARMA International to be your new Region Manager of the Great Northwest Region for the term beginning July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014.
Jennifer will bring a great deal of experience and talent to her new role. She has been a member of ARMA and the Bellevue/Eastside Chapter for 15 years. Jenny has done just about everything there is to do on the Chapter level. In 2006, she Co-Chaired the GNW Region Conference. On the Association level, Jennifer has served on the Vital Records Guidelines Task Force and the Branding Task Force.
Jennifer has been BEC's Chapter member of the Year three times having been honored by her chapter in 2002, 2006, and 2008.
She holds a Masters Degree from Western Washington University (History with certification in Archival Administration and Records Management).
Jennifer is also active as the Chair of the Association of Local Agency Records Managers (local government agencies in Washington State), a role that she has served in since 1997. She is also a member of the Seattle Area Archivists (member since 1995) and the Northwest Archivists (member since 1996).
In 2009, Jenny joined the Region Team as Region Coordinator. Among her duties, she Chaired the Region Conference in 2010. She has gained the respect of ARMA’s Board of Directors, HQ and the other Region Managers and Coordinators. This past year, we all watched as she courageously battled and triumphed over breast cancer with grace and dignity, still upholding her duties to the Region as best she could. On a personal note, she is an invaluable right hand to me and a friend. So although it will not easy for me to leave this role in July, I am very thrilled to leave it in such capable hands.
Please join me in congratulating Jenny!
