Prez Talk: A Message from Wyoming ARMA President

So whose March Madness

brackets are busted or have

been busted for quite a

while? Pick me, pick me?

Okay, for those of you

who do now know what

March Madness is, it is the

most wonderful time of the

year for anyone—you don’t

have to love the sport.

Okay, maybe besides of the

Christmas Season and any

vacation, of course! I am a

little more excited this year

than usual because I am

headed down to Dallas to

go to the Women’s Final

Four.

Okay, now on to business.

We had an awesome turn-

out for our 2017 Spring

Seminar. We had 47 at-

tendees from around the

state attend. Guest speakers

Courtney Stone and Andrew

Ysasi combined their

presentations to provide

information regarding how

to work in lean times and

use what we have to collab-

orate and get our jobs done

in the best and most effi-

cient way possible.

Our seminar evaluations

were again received with

high marks, and thanks

again to those who took the

time to vote. We take the

evaluations seriously and

use them to continue to

improve our seminar the

next year.

We also had a good year

for our silent auction. We

brought in $1,070 for our

revamped Vicki Carroll Pro-

fessional Development

Scholarship Fund. Thanks

to all who placed a bid on

our items!

If you were unable to at-

tend the seminar, we are

pleased to share Courtney’s

and Andrew’s presentations

on our Wyoming Chapter of

ARMA website at http://

www.armawyoming.org/

until April 11th.

Again, I would like to say

thank you to the chapter

seminar committee, the

board of directors, and eve-

ryone who participated and

donated to ensure our

spring seminar and silent

auction continue to be a

success. Without everyone’s

help, it would be a struggle

to pull off this event every

year.

These are lean times in Wy-oming, so when organization-al budgets are being slashed, how do you make sure your RIM and IG programs con-tinue to be a priority for your organization?

The Wyoming Chapter of ARMA addressed this issue at its 2017 Annual Spring Semi-nar held Tuesday, March 14 at the Laramie County Com-munity College in Cheyenne. The title of this year’s semi-nar was, “Surviving in Lean Times: Collaboration, Com-munication & Cooperation.”

Guest speakers included Andrew Ysasi, MS, CRM, CIPM, CIPP, PMP. Ysasi gave three presentations that covered some of the techno-logical challenges that RIM/IG professionals face today. In his first presenta-tion, “Skills Old and New—What It Takes To Become a RIM/IG Professional,” Ysasi discussed what new skills are required of RIM/IG profes-

sionals and what they can do to boost their careers along the IG domains.

The second presentation, “How IT and RIM Profes-sionals Can Work Better To-gether,” provided helpful advice on how RIM/IG pro-fessionals can improve their relationships with IT by rec-ognizing the challenges IT employees face.

Finally, in his “Cloud Con-cerns for 2017” presentation, Ysasi explained the latest cloud technologies and what RIM and IG can do to pre-pare for these technologies.

The second guest speaker, Courtney Stone, CRM, IGP, presentations focused more on how RIM and IG con-cepts and theories can be applied in the real world.

In her first interactive presentation, “From Theory to Reality—How to Make IG Happen in the Real World,” she shared tips and stories on

how to overcome obstacles to gain measurable ad-vance in your RIM/IG pro-gram.

In the last session of the day, Stone pre-sented her case study on “How One Company Converted All Their Paper Us-ing Only Internal Resources,” in which she ex-plained her com-pany’s project to go “paperless”.

This project was done using only internal resources rather than outsourcing it to ven-dors. Stone was the leader of the project and she offered some important lessons she learned in the process that organizations should take into consideration before they undertake such a project.

All seminar presentations

are currently available on the

Wyoming Chapter of ARMA

website at:

www.armawyoming.org.

In an effort to provide at-

tendees with more network-

ing opportunities, the seminar

also included a networking

session in which attendees

divided into groups to discuss

the answers to RIM/IG ques-

tions pertaining to their own

organizations.

Silent Auction

The chapter also hosted its

annual silent auction in con-

junction with its spring semi-

nar. Money raised at the silent

auction is used to fund the

chapter’s professional devel-

opment scholarships.

Donated items from vari-

ous businesses in Wyoming

and Colorado included hotel

stays, meal certificates, and

tickets to various sporting

and entertainment events,

along with jewelry, gift certifi-

cates and goodie baskets.

These items raised a total of

$1,070.

Membership Spotlight:

Stephanie Gertken

My name is

Stephanie

Gertken and I

am a Records

and Data

Management

Specialist with

the Wyoming

Department

of Environ-

mental Quality Water Quality

Division.

I was raised in St. Michael,

Minn., about an hour north-

west of the Twin Cities. Both

my parents’ extended families

live in central Minnesota so I

grew up with a lot of cousins,

aunts and uncles in the mix. I

received my Bachelor of Arts

at Macalester College, a small,

liberal arts school in St. Paul,

Minn., where I studied theater

and anthropology.

I married a

Wyomingite

shortly after

college and we

lived in the

Twin Cities for

several years.

On our visits to

Wyoming, I

was stunned by

the beautiful vistas and the

mountains left me breathless

(in more ways than one as I

tried to adjust to the altitude.)

When I began to pursue my

graduate degree at the Uni-

versity of Michigan, my hus-

band and I spent a brief stint

in Ann Arbor and then re-

turned to the Twin Cities af-

ter I completed my Master of

Science in Information. I spe-

cialized in Archives and Rec-

ords Management because I

enjoyed learning ways to build

and maintain systems that

better supported users’ infor-

mation needs.

After graduating, I worked

as a librarian with several

public libraries in the metro

area. I loved the chance to

work with patrons and track

down that one particular

book or article they were hav-

ing trouble finding or guide

them through a confusing

computer application.

When I was offered the

Records and Data Manage-

ment Specialist position with

DEQ, I was thrilled, not only

for the chance to be in the

mountains I fell in love with

on my earlier visits, but be-

cause my position combines

all aspects of my passion for

information management. I

have the opportunity to work

directly with my colleagues to

better understand their infor-

mation needs and how I can

support them through more

thoughtful database design,

metadata structure and rec-

ords management guidance.

One of the major initiatives

I am currently working on is

an effort to digitize the Water

Quality Division’s records so

as to free up physical space

and ease user access to rec-

ords. I collaborate with pro-

gram staff to determine how

they use their records now

and their potential future

needs in order to design ef-

fective and efficient ways for

them to store and retrieve

their information. I am espe-

cially excited to work with the

Water Quality Division be-

cause water issues play such a

vital role in the health of Wy-

oming’s environment, popu-

lation and economy.

NoCo Chapter offers Spring Workshop

Program Descriptions

Digital Dusting—Spring Cleaning for Network File Shares:

Do you click on multiple files before you find the one you need? Has your network file shares become a “digital

graveyard?” This session will address in detail how to provide structure to network drives, including best practices

for creating an effective folder structure, applying practical naming conventions to folders and file and options for

cleaning up the legacy mess.

Change Your Image—Preparing for Document Imaging:

Document imaging is not a new technology. However, many organizations still have not taken advantage of its

benefits. This session will address the benefits of document imaging, how to conduct a needs assessment to deter-

mine what documents are good candidates for imaging, what the imaging process involves, requirements gather-

ing, whether document imaging should be conducted in-house or outsourced, determining the ROI and evaluating

imaging software and hardware.

Training the Troops:

Awareness and training is a core element of a successful RIM program. This session will address how to creatively

bring awareness to your RIM program, RIM subjects that should be included in the employee training curriculum,

securing senior management support and options for delivering employee training.

Wyoming Chapter of ARMA

board members met Tuesday,

Feb. 28 at the Wyoming De-

partment of Transportation

office in Cheyenne. Board

members in attendance in-

cluded President and Web-

master Carolynn Coy, Chair-

person of the Board Pat

Newbern, and Treasurer Bar-

bara Thomasee. Vice-

president and Newsletter Edi-

tor April Peregoy and Mem-

bership Chair Janie Wait at-

tended via conference call.

Member Donna Crock was

also in attendance as the

Spring Seminar Registration

Chair.

President Coy called the

meeting to order at approxi-

mately 11:30 am. Because

Crock had to leave the meet-

ing by 12:30 pm, the board

began the meeting by discuss-

ing Spring Seminar items.

Board members had previ-

ously discussed that Northern

Colorado Chapter’s Paula

Sutton would be picking up

guest speaker Courtney Stone

from the Denver airport, and

would therefore be granted a

waiver for the seminar regis-

tration. However, Crock an-

nounced that would not be

happening now so Sutton’s

registration fee will be depos-

ited.

As of the day of the meet-

ing there are 37 people

signed up to attend the semi-

nar. Newbern said she has to

get Laramie County Commu-

nity College the final numbers

on Friday, March 10.

Coy and Crock suggested

doing a later get-together for

the night before which would

include the board, the speak-

ers and, possibly, the out-of-

town attendees. It was also

suggested the chapter only

pay for appetizers. Thomasee

and Newbern motioned that

the chapter pay up to $100

for appetizers. Peregoy se-

conded the motion and it

passed unanimously.

Crock said three volunteers

are needed to man the regis-

tration table. She said she will

contact members Stephanie

Gertken and Geetha

Murugesu to see if they will

help with the registration ta-

ble. She also said she would

help and Peregoy volunteered

to as well.

Crock asked the board

about letting various agencies

and organizations that have

contributed to the Spring

Seminar have free at-

tendees. The board unani-

mously agreed to let SHRAB

have two people attend for

free since they contribute

funding for the seminar.

Crock said she will print the

list of attendees for the

check-in table and the door

prize slips.

Thomasee said Tim Tyler

with WYDOT will allow any

printing of materials that

needs to be done for the sem-

inar. Crock said she will send

her everything that needs to

be printed out.

Coy said she will be in

It’s my honor as your presi-dent of the ARMA board to announce the election results for the 2017 ARMA board of directors.

I want to thank our many members who took this im-portant opportunity to help shape the ARMA board and the future of ARMA Interna-tional. The industry faces many challenges but holds even more opportunities. The continued support of our members, combined with the leadership of the ARMA board, will help shape our future plans and success.

Our new president-elect for ARMA International is Ryan M. Zilm, IGP, CRM, CIP.

Zilm, a current board mem-

ber, is manager, records & information governance, at Tesoro Companies, Inc. He is a past president of the AR-MA Tulsa chapter, a former ARMA Houston program committee manager, and for-mer VP of marketing & tech-nology for ARMA Rio Grande. He’s been awarded the chapter member of the year three times and chapter leader of the year twice.

In the profession since 1998, Zilm has helped devel-op ARMA Interna-tional’s Glossary of Records and Information Management Terms and has earned several industry certifications, includ-ing IGP. He is also a CRM Part 6 mentor, grader, and presenter. Earlier, he was in the IT field in the energy in-dustry and now brings that vital expertise to his role as well.

I’m also pleased to an-

nounce our new director to the ARMA board is Susan Goodman, IGP, CRM, CIP, FAI

Goodman is a long-time con-tributor to all things ARMA. Last fall, she was inducted into the ARMA International Company of Fellows. She has chaired the ARMA Interna-tional Publications Coordina-tion Committee, served as a RIM and privacy SME for various ARMA courses and publications, facilitated nu-merous educational sessions at the annual conference and elsewhere, and served as pres-ident of two ARMA chapters.

Among her many impres-sive credentials are the IGP, CRM, CIP, CIPP, and CIPM. She also has a Master of Li-brary Science degree and has completed advanced studies at the University of Michigan, with a focus on electronic records. In her 30-year career,

she has served as a senior-level professional in RIM, IG, and privacy in organizations of varying sizes and indus-tries. A natural leader and strategic thinker, she will hit the ground running as a new director.

I know you join me and the ARMA International organi-zation in congratulating Ryan and Susan on their new roles. Our board is now complete and comprised of the indus-try’s best ambassadors!

The complete list of the current board is available here on the web-site: http://www.arma.org/r1/contact-us/board-of-directors
