"Legal Issues in Records Management Myths and Realities"
Luncheon Presentation at Davio's Cambridge

Presented by: David Stephens, CRM, FAI "Zasio"

Sponsored by: Hummingbird

Overview: In the U.S., many myths pervade the thoughts of people in business and government as they consider the matter of recordkeeping, records management and records retention. During the past 30 years, I have talked with thousands of these people, and have listened as they articulated these myths. It is sometimes difficult to understand where these myths originated or how they grew to permeate the thinking of so many people in organizational life. But, for those of us who practice records management, it is certainly useful to take these myths to task; that is, to examine them critically and, to the extent that they are false, to debunk them with reality / wisdom in place of the falsehoods. In this presentation, we will examine ten myths in records management / retention, and debunk them with the most current legal realities.
