Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary
For 250 years, records have preserved our nation’s history, protected our rights, and documented the stories that shape our future. ARMA New England is proud to support the professionals who ensure today’s records become tomorrow’s history.
2025 - 2026 Recap
2025 - 2026 Recap
I am happy to report that our chapter had a very good year with 5 great programs and additional events that were relevant to you all – our members. We also were able to give back to our community a bit and we all had fun doing so! Beginning with EMPOWER 25 in September all the way through to May’s program we covered Selecting Software Smartly, DEI in Today’s
Environment, Challenges in Implementing IG in Financial Services/Regulated Industries, and Data Security using Microsoft Purview. We saw great engagement within our chapter and from others around the country.
Our chapter leaders have also been promoting our brand by attending and promoting/sponsoring at the CyberSecurity Summit and New England Archivist’s Spring Conference. At NEA, ARMA New England held a luncheon panel about Records Management. It’s been great getting to discuss IG with people working in related disciplines – seeing how much we have in
common and how we might collaborate on programs in the near future.
On behalf of our team, Meg, Donna, Ruth, Colin, Stephanie, and John
