President's Message
Please check out the Meetings page of our website to get up-to-date info on our upcoming meetings.
The Big E: Electronic Records Management, our Spring Seminar, will be held April 15th at Protective. More Information will be coming soon. Mark your calendars and stay tuned!
Birmingham ARMA will be welcoming sponsors for The Big E Spring Seminar. Details on sponsorship will be coming soon!
Greg Lawrence has resigned as Secretary due to a career change. We will miss Greg, but I am sure he will do very well in the new business he has started. If you are interested in serving on the Board of Directors as Secretary, please contact me as soon as possible.
We have a no-solicitation policy during our meetings, unless that solicitation has been approved for sponsorship of meetings or Birmingham ARMA events.
We have reserved our dates with the Vestavia Country Club for the upcoming operating year 2010-2011. Please see the bottom of this message for the dates. Mark your calendars!
Membership Renewals: With the current economic conditions and many employers no longer paying individual membership dues for their employees, ARMA is implementing an optional two-pay plan for members, with payment spread out over six months. Please see the Join Us section of our website for details.
We will continue the sponsorship program where businesses can sponsor our meetings. The application can be found on the homepage of our website.
In these difficult economic times, some of our membership are looking for employment. If your company or employer has openings for records and information management or related positions, please send me the link, and I will post them on the Events page of our website. There will be no cost for posting jobs or links on the website, as this is one way our local ARMA chapter can assist our membership in their professional development. Before you send Birmingham ARMA a link to your company's website, please make sure that your HR department has approved the link being posted on our website. ARMA is not guaranteeing any position listed or linked will be open or will remain open. This is just one more way for RIM job seekers to hear about open positions in our area. This cannot work without your help. When the job is filled, please let me know so I can have the link removed. For those of you who are searching for jobs, please check the website regularly, as I won't be sending emails to everyone about openings. Please let me know if you have any questions.
The Board of Directors has opened up our meetings to sponsorship, which will reduce the rising cost of lunch to $15. In exchange, our sponsors will provide a five to ten minute introduction for the luncheon they sponsor, and they will have a link to their website on the homepage of our website for the year. Sponsorship of a meeting is only $150. If your company is interested in sponsoring a meeting, please fill out the attached Sponsorship Application.
Cancelation Policy: We let our contact at VCC know what our reservation numbers for lunch are around 2:00 on the Monday before the meetings. Once I give them our numbers, we are responsible for paying for the lunches that have been ordered, and we cannot cancel them. This means that once you RSVP, you cannot cancel your lunch order if I've already given it to VCC.
