Monthly Chapter Meeting

What

Romaine Marshall comes to speak to us as an Attorney with experience as a business litigation and trial lawyer, and as legal counsel in response to hundreds of cybersecurity and data privacy incidents.

He has been lead-counsel in multiple jury and bench trials in Utah state and federal courts. As organizations embrace digital transformation, Romaine helps them navigate and manage legal risks by tailoring incident response plans and risk assessments and co-developing written information security and AI risk management programs. 

He also advises on the application of cybersecurity and AI governance frameworks, and related data privacy considerations.

• AI governance including assisting organizations with implementing AI literacy and AI risk management policies and programs, and conducting assessments required by states (e.g., UAIPA, CAIA, and TRAIGA) and overseas (e.g., EU AI Act).
• Cybersecurity and data privacy litigation involving botnets and man-in-the-middle attacks against end users and business executives, a cryptocurrency exchange, nonfungible token (NFT) platforms and digital art creators, and web tracking.
• Regulatory investigations by the US Federal Trade Commission, US Securities and Exchange Commission and US Department of Health and Human Services into cybersecurity and data privacy practices, and blockchain and digital assets.
• International cybersecurity regulations including the European Union’s NIS2 Directive, Digital Operational Resilience Act, and Cyber Resilience Act, and China and Canada’s Personal Information Protection (PIPL and PIPEDA) laws.
• Critical infrastructure and regulatory changes to cybersecurity alignment, readiness, and maturity requirements for the energy, financial, food and agriculture, information technology, emergency services and transportation sectors.
• Ransomware attacks involving the Ryuk, CryLock, Conti, MAZE, THT v2, RagnarLocker, LockBit, CLOP, NoEscape, and ALPHV/Blackcat variants, and led teams that analyzed and applied notification obligations.

 Romaine is also a frequent author and presenter on digital transformation and related legal obligations, is co-chair of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association’s Emerging Technologies Committee, a member of the Utah Bar’s Innovation in Law Practice Committee, and a host for the Utah Chapter of the CISO Executive Network.

What

When Mark Smith started at the Utah Division of Finance (within Utah’s Department of Government Operations) three years ago, there were 219 record series, most of which hadn’t been updated since their creation nearly forty years ago. Luckily for the Division, Mark is smart, meticulous, and organized, and he attacked the series clean-up with a vengeance. Come hear Mark share his experience and lessens learned.

About this event

Church History Records Clean-up Day!

Come learn from Russ Porter how the records management team assisted employees to identify records that should be kept, and those that no longer have value and should be destroyed. A tour of the Church’s Records Center will follow.

Russell Porter is a Senor Records Manager for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He grew up in Davis County, served a two-year mission to Japan, and attended Weber State University.

He started working in his current position in 2022. He works with multiple departments and areas of the Church. He assists them with retention and disposition of each department’s records. He also assists the departments with maintaining their own records management plan. Prior to working for the Church, Russ worked in the Records Management Industry for 25 years at a software company called BMI Associates located in Kaysville, Utah. The nature of the work there varied, and Russ had the opportunity to work with a variety of industries, assisting them with their records management needs. His work entailed people management, project and product management, system design, configuration, implementation, records retention and classifications, training, and support.

Russ has been married for 33 years and has 4 children, 2 sons-in-law, and one granddaughter. He enjoys watching sports, especially high school and college wrestling, and playing pickleball with his family and friends.

We had such a great response earlier this year to our service activity helping Ogden sort their old records! But as the weather was bad we had several people who were unable to make it, so we decided to hold a second session! It’s a win-win situation: we get to sort through cool old records, and Ogden gets help putting their old records in order! Many hands make light work, so we hope that you will join us as we help Ogden City with their big records project.

When: Thursday, April 17, 2025; 11:30am -1pm

Where: Utah State Records Center (Building C-6, 5th Street and C Street, Clearfield, UT map)

How to get there:
1- Exit the freeway (I-15) at Antelope Drive and go west. 
2- You’ll pass the Freeport Center on the right, then the Clearfield Job Corps Center.
3- After the storage units with red doors (on the right), turn right onto 300 West.
4- Turn right onto C Street (after the Freeport West directory sign). 
5- Continue through the gate until you see a gold and blue building that says “State of Utah / Utah State Archives and Records Service / State Records Center.” Turn right before the building.
6- Follow the arrows to park along the building. There’s construction but the entrance is clearly marked.
