THE Mid-Atlantic Region Leadership Meeting was held June 8-10, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA.

THE two day meeting focused on educational networking and organizational assistance. These subjects enable the Region's Chapters and members to leverage their skills and experience to promote Records Information Management (RIM) values and knowledge to employers, colleagues, and their communities.

THEkeynote speaker, Ms. Julie Gable, spoke on "Electronic Records Management (ERM) Changes, Trends, Best Practices."

The meeting concluded with an open discussion of the state-of-the-region and the chapter's leadership issues and concerns.
