My start with ARMA International and ARMA Madison began within the second week of my new position as Information Governance Coordinator.  This newly created position presented an opportunity to develop records standards, and introduce them to our associates.  With a 50 year legacy at our company, and just as many years of records built up, I needed the support of ARMA to understand how to approach our solution to records and information management. 

Taking on the role of VP of Programs in ARMA Madison provided me with event planning skills.  Additionally, the role put me front and center with professionals from our area, and offered an additional level of knowledge to my already growing repertoire.   Being President is a different challenge, and one I greatly appreciate.  ARMA International seeks to empower the community of information professionals to advance their careers, organizations, and the profession, and being the President of ARMA Madison means bringing that local, through the work of our fantastic Board. 

Being a part of ARMA International and ARMA Madison, whether as a member or as a member and Board member, gives you access to a community of knowledge and experience.  Attend an event, and speak to us about the resources available.  Email us, and let us know what information you need.  Connect us with through social media, and rely on the community of professionals who have been there before.  Join us, and tell them Emmy Bonnell-Roper sent you!
