Michael DeVanna & Terrance McCluskey

Michael DeVanna and Terrance McCluskey will present on the value of being a Certified Records Manager. National and global industry surveys continue to show a strong correlation and value proposition for those RIM professionals that achieve the CRM designation. The candidate's belief that the credential will provide for enhanced professionalism and personal growth is a significant factor in the overall decision to become a CRM. The RIM knowledge gained through the certification examination preparation process, and elevation of confidence that is achieved as a result of mastering related competencies, is directly related to the CRM's ability to garner higher-level RIM positions with commensurate salaries.

Following the presentation, members are invited to join a Certified Records Manager or Certified Records Analyst study group.
