Workshop Title: "The Basics of Records Management"

Date & Time: Wednesday, July 17, 2019 | 8:00AM - 12:00PM Local Time 

Duration: 4 Hours

Price: $75.00

Workshop Overview: All government activities generate records. Records exist in a wide variety of formats including paper, microfilm, photographs, e-mail, databases, etc. Employees should be able to find the records they need to do their work quickly and easily. It is important to dispose of records that have fulfilled their retention requirements so they do not waste space, make it harder to find important information, and become a liability. In addition, records with long-term and historical value need to be protected and preserved.

This pre-conference workshop is for new records managers, or records management programs that want to grow. Presenters will cover the various elements of a records and information management program: Retention Schedules, Records Inventory, Vital Records Protection, Active File Management, Filing System Development, Filing Equipment, Inactive Files Management, Micrographics, Digital Imaging, Electronic Records Management, Document Management, Records Destruction, Litigation and Discovery, Records Preservation, and Total Cost of Ownership.

This pre-conference workshop will provide an introduction and overview of the important records management responsibilities of government employees.

Both an early morning and mid-morning coffee/tea/snack break will be included with your registration.
