Happy Spring from the Board of Directors of the ARMA Utah Salt Lake Chapter.
We’re thrilled to announce the resounding success of the ARMA Spring Seminar 2024! Featuring a lineup of exceptional speakers, presenters, and panelists, the event provided invaluable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of information governance. Kicking off with an inspiring keynote address by Joe Shepley, attendees delved into the future of information powered by AI and the pivotal role it plays in shaping our approach to governance. Gabrielle Harris shared her expertise on navigating technological advancements in the RIM world, while the panel, moderated by David Fleming, explored the complexities of the digital landscape and strategies for effective risk mitigation and compliance. Victor Moxley presented a compelling case study on contract governance, and Philip Favro concluded with a captivating journey into the world of M365, offering actionable insights for moving forward. For those who missed the live event, we invite you to reach out for access to the seminar video. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch up on this invaluable knowledge!
We’re excited to share that our first bi-annual lunch meet-up on Thursday, April 25, 2024, was a fantastic start to a new tradition! Although our inaugural outing began with a small group, we’re optimistic that future gatherings will see an increase in participation. This unique event format invites everyone to join us at the City Creek food court entrance for a casual 30-45 minutes of mingling, where attendees have the option to bring their own lunch or purchasing something on-site. It’s a refreshing change of pace that allows us to connect and foster new relationships. Whether you’re an ARMA member or not, feel free to bring along friends and colleagues to our next gathering! We look forward to seeing you all there!
Congratulations to Kendra Yates for achieving her CRM certification and to Sara Bench for earning her CRA certification in March 2024. Their dedication to professional development is truly commendable and serves as an inspiration to us all.

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!

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.

As we bid farewell to another year, it is with great pleasure that we reflect upon the milestones and growth that have defined the journey of ARMA Utah Salt Lake Chapter. Here is a comprehensive look at our year in review:
ARMA members unwrapped the joy of the season at our holiday social, where relaxation, delightful activities, and festive cheer created an enchanting tapestry of memories. This event transformed records and information management into a hub of holiday magic and fostering connections that carry the spirit of joyful gathering into the hearts of our community throughout the coming year.
The panel was a resounding success, underscoring the importance of trust, persistence, and the adage that a little move is a good move. The insightful discussion delved into the delicate art of records management destruction, emphasizing the need for a meticulous approach and unwavering trust in established processes.
The integration of OpenAI and ChatGPT is revolutionizing the landscape for records and information governance, catering to both structured and unstructured data. This dynamic combination provides a powerful toolkit for managing vast volumes of information, granting the ability to enhance the scope and reach of RIM programs. Their newfound role extends beyond traditional responsibilities, now encompassing the critical task of providing essential data quality and sensitivity assessments. In navigating this brave new world of artificial intelligence and natural language processing, this new technology plays a crucial role in maintaining compliance, security, and the ethical application of technology, marking a paradigm shift in
significance within enterprise frameworks.
In the fast-evolving landscape of technological advancement, a torrent of new information is rapidly generated and accumulates in colossal volumes resulting in a digital blizzard, where information flows incessantly from all directions. Recognizing the critical need to integrate this influx of information into a company’s Information Governance program is paramount. Unlike traditional records, which were akin to individual snowflakes, unique and separate, contemporary data demands a comprehensive strategy for classification, storage, and compliance. Organizations must become the avalanche predictor, not the avalanche victim, by understanding, organizing, and governing their data proactively.
