About Us
ARMA
International is the Association of Records Managers and Administrators,
Inc., which is a not-for-profit professional association of over 10,000
records and information management professionals primarily from the United
States and Canada. ARMA International's Mission is as follows:
"To provide
education, research and networking opportunities to information
professionals, to enable them to use their skills and experience to
leverage the value of records, information and knowledge as corporate
assets and as contributors to organizational success."
The ARMA-Boston
Chapter was established in 1961 to promote and advance records and
information management (RIM) in the Boston area. Today our membership
stands at more than 200 RIM professionals in Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont , Rhode Island, and Maine.
ARMA International is headquartered in Lenexa, KS, and the leadership there
consists of professional staff, committee chairmen, and elected officers.
ARMA International is divided into ten Regions, each with a Regional Manager
& Coordinator to advise the Chapters. At the local level, there are over
150 chapters throughout the US, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. Local
Chapters hold regular meetings to provide members with networking,
education, and leadership opportunities throughout the year.
The Code
of Professional Responsibility for Records and Information Managers is
intended to increase the awareness of ethical issues among information and
records management practitioners and to guide them in reflection, decision
making, and action in two broad areas of ethical concern: society and the
profession.
