ARMA Member Benefit: Did you know you can join other ARMA Members for industry-specific discussions?
ARMA Members have access to specific Industry Groups to seek ideas from colleagues, network, share ideas, and get feedback. These groups include most of the sectors our own Chapter members represent, like:
Government (Federal and State/Local groups)
Utilities
Colleges & Universities
Legal
These industry-specific groups are available through the members-only area of arma.org. Log in to participate in group discussions, sharing ideas and resources, support, and networking.
In the top blue bar in the ARMA Social Link site, select “Quick Links” and navigate to “ARMA Learning” (direct URL: https://education.arma.org). This will take you to the Learning Management System.
Click “Course Catalog” in the top grey bar.
On the left-hand side, you can refine your search to search by cost (including ‘FREE’ or $0.00 priced items), competency level, topic, etc.
Select the “Buy Now” button next to the resource you want. This will place the item in your ARMA shopping cart.
Continue to “check out” with your ARMA shopping cart.
Complete your purchase information (even for free items).
Go back to ARMA Learning, and in your “My Learning” area you will find the access to the items you just purchased.
A heads up Puget Sound Chapter members: It is very important to check your ARMA.org online profile to make sure everything is up to date! Please take a few minutes this week to create an account at arma.org (if you don’t already have one) and view/update your profile.
The ARMA International Education Foundation (AIEF) is currently seeking up to six researchers to work on a freelance basis on the Industry in One” series.
Each paper will identify the state of information management within the industry, highlighting records management in a condensed report (25-30 pages) for each of the following initial industries to be addressed: energy, finance, and legal. A report is to be generated for each topic by a subject matter expert (SME) to provide distinct United States and Canadian perspectives.
If you are a current member of ARMA International be sure and set up your new log in and profile at www.arma.org. The member directory (which was a feature of the old site, but not used widely) is much more prominent. By default the directory includes most (if not all) of the contact info you provided to ARMA – email, phone, and more. You can customize what information is shown to other ARMA members in the directory through your account. It’s definitely worth getting your account set up so you can see what is available and update your profile.
Get the most out of your community by connecting with fellow members and sharing content. You can post multiple photos and share articles with ease. We’re excited to use some of these new tools and hope they will help us connect and get the most out of our memberships!
