September 2024 – Terri Scovill

We hope everyone had a great summer and are excited to get to see you all again! To start off our year Terri Scovill, our Membership Director, will be presenting with her team about a SharePoint project that has been completed at Autoliv. She says, ” We believe that email is transitory in nature and that there is a small percentage that rises to the level of a record. We also know that, in general, there is only one person that accesses an email account, so if they left, there wasn’t any idea what they had in their email. We developed a system where a manager can request an email storage SharePoint location for their team, based on the applicable record codes which allows the team to move items that are records and have it available to the right people.” Come ready to ask questions! We’re excited to see everyone!

Who is Terri Scovill? Terri has been the Global Records and Information Manager at Autoliv, an automotive safety company, for over 20 years. Past projects have included implementation of a new Corporate RIM program. She is leading the efforts to help ensure that not only are Autoliv’s records managed properly and consistently, but so is their information throughout its lifecycle. Visit her LinkedIn profile for more information!

May 2024 – Service Project!

This month for our annual service activity, we will assist in sorting Weber County property tax records at the State Archives. Weber County recently digitized their property tax files, resulting in over 500 boxes of paper records being sent to the State Archives. Unfortunately, the records were not organized after digitization, leaving the Archives with a significant task of sorting and organizing them. Enter our chapter! We will be helping to organize these records, while socializing and enjoying working together! Additionally, tours of the State Archives will be available for those interested in exploring this fascinating facility. Hope to see you there!

April 2024 – Mark Diamond with Contoural

Mark Diamond from Contoural will be joining us this month to discuss best practices for creating or modifying a retention schedule in an age of predominantly electronic records. He will also discuss how to “privacy-enable” our schedules. Come ready with questions and an open mind! Many thanks to Contoural for sponsoring our lunch this month!

Who is Mark Diamond? Mark is the founder and CEO of Contoural, the industry leader in proactive records and information management, AI, litigation readiness and risk & compliance strategies. As a trusted advisor he and his company help bridge legal, compliance, security and business needs and policies with effective processes, technology and change management. To learn more about Contoural visit their website.

What will Mark be presenting?Creating a Modern, Compliant, and Easier to Execute Records Retention Schedule” Many record retention schedules started from within hardcopy, paper-based records programs. Yet today more than 95% of the documents organizations create or receive are sourced in digital format. Programs based on paper-centric record retention schedules are much more difficult to execute and ensure compliance, when electronic information is the dominant format. Is your retention schedule in need of an update? In this webinar, Contoural will discuss how organizations can create modern and more compliant records retention schedules that better handle both paper and especially electronic information. Contoural will also cover how to privacy-enable your schedule.

When: Thursday, April 18, 2024; 11:30am -1pm

Where: Autoliv (3350 Airport Road, Ogden, UT 84405) or Zoom
