Message from the President 1999

The Records Management Institute (RMI) has been serving the records and information management community since 1952. The objectives of the RMI include providing leadership to the records and information management profession and acting as a forum for networking with colleagues with ideas and the dissemination of information.

The past few years have seen rapid change in our business and in the midst of these changes the RMI continues to strive to be a dynamic force and to further the principles and practices of sound record keeping. Our skills and expertise are very much in demand and our knowledge sought by all in the electronic work environment as well as program officials.

For the upcoming year, the RMI Executive is planning an exciting training schedule, fall seminar relevant program topics, increased corporate membership and dynamic public relations, and hopes to provide members with interesting opportunities and successful ventures.

I would like to encourage each and every one of you to become involved in participating on committees, providing ideas on program topics, writing articles for distribution to other members, sharing program notices(make it a goal to bring someone to every meeting) and membership information with colleagues, and generally promoting good information and records management practices in your workplace as well as within your community.

Please contact me with comments, questions and ideas. I look forward to meeting you and talking with you at our monthly meetings.

Rhonda Healey
President, RMI
