Evaluating Your Records Management Program - James Tammaro, Adjunct Professor, SUNY Buffalo
Establishing a records management program in a local government is a good way to improve the management of records and information in government. However, the RMO and other officials within the local government need to evaluate the programs performance from time to time to make needed improvements. This session will cover aspects of a records management program to analyze and offer guidance on actions to take to evaluate the program and how to use the results of that evaluation to improve the local government's records management program.

Thinking Like a Grant Reviewer - Diane H Leonard, President, DH Leonard Consulting & Grant Writing Services, LLC
In this session will walk through the steps necessary to develop a grant application that not only engages your grant reviewers, but helps you achieve the top score possible so that you receive the grant award. We will go step by step through how to achieve this in each portion of your process-from identifying a funding opportunity to clicking submit for an application. This session will give you the critical steps to follow for implementing a "mock review" in your organization to have your editing process mimic that of a grant review process so you start to think like a grant reviewer. You will experience firsthand with a hands-on exercise of each application.

When an information system is decommissioned, the date within must remain usable, either in that system or a new one to which the data is migrated, to meet retentionn requirements as well as potential litigation.
