Presidents Message
Hello ARMA of Orlando, Inc. Chapter Members;
Welcome Back!
This year is going to be one of the most exciting, busy
and challenging times for our ARMA Orlando District
Chapter.
As is customary for our chapter we are going to
present a diverse range of topics for our lunch
meetings. So far we range from Disasters to E-Mail
to Understanding E-Discovery. These presentations
are going to provide us with a great deal of knowledge
for us to take back and utilize in our respective
companies.
As you may recall from our last meeting in June of this
year, we have some BIG challenges facing our
chapter. In the immediate future we are tasked with
manning a booth at the 2008 ARMA International
Conference in Las Vegas (Oct. 19th through Oct.
23rd)
promoting the 2009 ARMA International Conference
here in Orlando (Oct. 12th through Oct. 18th). If
anyone is
planning on attending the Las Vegas conference,
please notify me as we have six (6) complimentary
registrations and I will send you the link for the
complimentary registration. We plan on promoting
the conference with a tee-shirt give-away and several
grand prizes. THANK YOU to our member/vendors
who have committed to help sponsor many of these
prizes
We are in need of many volunteers to form a
committee for the 2009 conference here in Orlando.
We are going to need people to help stuff bags
(estimated 2,000) for the conference attendees as
well as rely on some of our member/vendors for
small items (pens, pads, etc.) to place in the bags.
As the time gets closer we will have more details on
exactly what is going to be needed, however if we
have a committee in place we will be able to hand out
job responsibilities as they become available. Again,
any interested members, please notify me and we will
assemble a committee.
Turning to our website for our chapter, we have had
some difficulties getting our site up and running. We
believe we have made strides in starting this up
again. We have a vendor who is willing to take on the
challenge of creating and maintaining our website.
As details come about we will share these with you.
Again, based on our chapter being the host chapter
for the 2009 ARMA International Conference we are
going to be getting a slew of web hits.
We look forward to seeing you at our monthly
meetings. Keep an eye out for upcoming events and
other networking opportunities. It is football season
(GO KNIGHTS!) and we will be having our Monday
Night Football Networking meetings again this year. I
will keep you posted of the Monday's from September
through December and locations.
THANK YOU to our member/vendors for stepping up
and helping to sponsor our lunch meetings again this
year. Please members, support our vendors, whether
it is for record storage, destruction, disaster recovery
or enterprise content management, if you have any
questions about any of these please contact one of
our member/vendors to assist you with any projects
you may have.
Sincerely,
Tim O'Toole
President
ARMA Orlando District Chapter
