In case you missed it, the first Austin ARMA chapter meeting of the year was held on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2023. In-person attendees shared pizza at the Austin Energy headquarters; virtual attendees joining remotely were on their own for lunch. 

After relaying announcements and upcoming events, board president Laura Tenberg opened the learning session by introducing Lona Chastain, City of Austin Privacy Office Team Member, JD, CIPM, presenting “An Overview of Information Privacy Today.” We will soon add a recording of the session and slides for members who could not attend.

Shred Day Announcement

Fall Shred Day 2023 has been set for Saturday, November 4, 2023 at Balcones Resources. As always, we will need volunteers and fingers crossed that the weather is good. Sign up if you are available to help out that day - whether directing traffic, taking donations, or unloading boxes.

e-Records Conference

Registration for the 2023 e-Records Conference is now open! This one-day conference is for state agency and local government officials who are creating or managing electronic records. This educational opportunity seeks to improve electronic records management in Texas government by bringing together staff responsible for and interested in records management and information technology. It is also a great chance to network with other attendees who are working on some of the same electronic records management issues you face in your office. Join 300+ government personnel, speakers, and exhibitors for this exciting day.

Be sure to visit the conference webpage to read about the exciting lineup of speakers and exhibitors (including a table for our own chapter).

Our next chapter meeting, lunch, and learning session will be Tuesday, October 24, 2023 from 11:30 AM  - 1:00 PM. We will again offer in-person or virtual attendance, and we encourage members to bring a guest who might be interested in joining the chapter. We’ll share more information about the speaker and topic as we get closer to the event.
