Come Help Us Celebrate!

Join your friends from the Chapter on June 25 at the Riverbend Lounge at the Marriott hotel in Newton, MA to celebrate the end of a successful program. We have enjoyed seeing many of you at our various educational events, but we thought it would be nice to get together one last time during this program year. We will be staking out the long table beginning around 5:00 pm, but feel free to drop in whenever you can. We will provide hors d’oeuvres around 6:00 and there is a cash bar available.

Register at Eventbrite, and the Chapter will be happy to add two beverages to the hors d’oeuvres we will be supplying. Check out our Facebook page before registering, and find out about a special way to save on your registration.

Fun at the Archives

On Tuesday (May14th) we held our final educational event of the year. It was at the National Archives, in Waltham, MA, and it was a stunning success. Professionals from the Archive and Records Center explained a bit about the operation, and then we had two very informative speakers. The first, Jill Snyder talked about the Federal Directive that will reshape document management and archiving for all Federal agencies by the end of this decade. It sounds like a tough job. Next, Jean Nudd talked about and showed some amazing examples of the kind of documents in the permanent collection. After a short break, Brian Codagnone, Associate Curator of The Sports Museum in Boston (at TD Garden) talked about the museum, its collection and kept us laughing with some crazy stories. The Chapter thanks Annie Davis, and the staff of the Archives for welcoming us to their amazing facility and we thank all of our speakers for sharing such interesting content.

While this was the last educational event, we have decided to have a social event in June. Details are not yet established, so check back here, watch your email, follow us on Twitter and / or join us on Facebook. Speaking of Facebook, there are some pictures from Tuesday’s event over there (feel free to click that Like button when you land on the main page, we would appreciate it.)

Lineup Changes

Unfortunately, the Chapter and the Horace Mann School have decided to cancel the benefit golf tournament for 2013. This is sad news; especially in light of how successful this event has been over the years and how many years the event has run. This would have been the 18th annual tournament. Unfortunately, this is not a good time to be conducting the fundraising work required to make this benefit a success.

AIIM New Englans is proceeding with our final educational event of the program year – An exploration of archiving and preservation, which will be held on May 14th. Curate, Comply and Enjoy will feature speakers from the National Archives in Waltham (the venue for the event) and a special guest speaker from the Boston Sports Museum – this is going to be fun, and “archive” and “fun” aren’t often used in the same sentence.

We hope to see you at this final event of the season so you can help us close the books on a very successful year. By the way, if you want to help us make the 2013-14 Program even more successful, consider joining us as a speaker!

Rounding 3rd – Heading for Home

Last week, the Chapter sponsored CIP Preparation training class was held in Cambridge, and it was a success. So far, at least two of the students have taken and passed the CIP exam! Our thanks to Steve Weissman from The Holly Group for his excellent presentation. As we wrap up the 2012-13 Program Year, we have two amazing events left – An exploration of archiving and preservation, and the 18th Annual Golf Benefit to benefit the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
