Board Positions Available!
Are you interested in gaining some great leadership skills while giving back to your chapter! Well here is your chance we have two board positions just waiting for a chapter member to step up to the challenge.
- Vice President and Membership Chair - this position handles all the membership duties, such as maintaining our chapter membership database, welcoming new members and distributing membership e-packages, assisting ARMA International in pulling together names for their annual membership drive. If you like networking and dealing directly with our members, then this position is for you!
- Board of Director - this position serves in an advisory role to the Board and is a great way for a new member to get involved and see how the chapter is ran. If you wanted to get involved but are not quite ready to step into the VP shoes, then this is a greater "starter" position.
If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact Chapter President Tara Ramos.

Program Description
September 9, 2009
Functional Classification: What it is and how to benefit
The topic of taxonomy, or classification, has risen in prominence in recent years. But there has been relatively little practical discussion about what it really is, and more importantly, how RIM professionals can leverage the specific methodology and system relevant to their needs: functional business classification.
This educational session will provide an overview of functional classification and its importance to RIM professionals and programs. The session will be of interest to all RIM Professionals in any organization, government or private, though the speaker will leverage State and Local government use case examples. Advanced knowledge of classification is not required.
In the session, the speaker will discuss the different classification systems that exist, the Australian DIRKS methodology for developing functional business classifications, and why functional classification – the classification of terms or concepts according to business functions and activity – is a critical methodology and tool for RIM professionals. The focus of the session will be upon practical knowledge and use of classification, use real-world examples based upon the advanced Government RIM ecology in Australia, and provide a starting point, with examples, to encourage local RIM professionals to collaborate, even across dissimilar organizations, to build and leverage common business classifications.
