ICRM – HOW TO BECOME CERTIFIED
Long time members and certified records
managers, Bill Hall and Wendy Sapp will present
information on why professional records managers
should seek certification and how to go about
becoming certified through The Institute of Certified
Records Managers. The Institute has developed a
number of resources to help individuals attain
certification including an informational PowerPoint
presentation, a candidate’s testing handbook,
mentor and ambassador support programs, and a
bibliography of resources.
Bill holds a BA in International Relations from the
University of Delaware, with post-graduate studies
at the U.S. Foreign Service Institute.
This presentation will provide the requirements for
new candidates including the application, testing,
and certification maintenance phases. The
presenters will describe their experiences of the
process and the benefits of completion. The
speakers will leave plenty of time for questions and
discussion and will be happy to counsel individuals
"one-on-one" after the meeting day.
