This Eighteenth Records Management Training Workshop from Potomac Forum is presented to  help agencies understand, comply and meet NARA records management requirements and fine tune agency records management plans and programs.  Lessons learned and best practices to transition from paper to electronic records. 

The June 28, 2019. Transition to Electronic Records (OMB/NARA Memo M-19-21)

Requires agencies eliminate paper and use electronic recordkeeping. Some of the high-level goals are:

  • By December 31, 2019, federal agencies will manage all permanent electronic records in an electronic format (1.1)
  • By December 31, 2022, Federal agencies will manage all permanent records in an electronic format and with appropriate metadata. (1.2)
  • By December 31, 2022, Federal agencies will manage all temporary records in an electronic format or store them in commercial records storage facilities. (1.3) 

    The Memo further states that: 
  • Agencies must close agency-operated records storage facilities by Dec 31, 2022. 


Agencies are working to meet upcoming deadlines for transitioning from paper to electronic records.  It is important to understand how the NARA/OMB regulations and deadlines will impact your agency and lessons learned from agency leaders in working toward the OMB/NARA mandates.

This one-day Potomac Forum Workshop will focus on the activities mandated by the NARA/OMB Records Management Directive and related management issues and initiatives. Government and industry leaders will provide information to help agencies fine tune their records management plans and programs.

The Chief Records Officer for the U.S. Government will present the Workshop Keynote and a special follow-on panel with the NARA Executive Leaders will discuss current and proposed government-wide records management initiatives and transition to electronic records. Lessons learned from the recent Federal Agency Records Management Annual Report (Senior Agency Official for Records Management Report Federal Email Management Report  and Records Management Self-Assessment) will be discussed. Key records management executives from  government agencies will discuss the current state of government records management, transition to electronic records and compliance with policy, regulations and best practices

Holistic Approach to Records Management
This is an extremely well received presentation of a Holistic Approach to Records Management from a Senior Executive Responsible for Information Management at the Highest Levels of DOD and is Applicable to Both Civilian and DOD Communities).

Mr. Patrick will discuss records management as a subset of a holistic approach to managing all of an organization’s data. Whether electronic, paper, or resident in the minds of its employees, an organization’s business information must be instantaneously accessible so senior leaders can make data-driven decisions at the speed their jobs require. This is a journey of many steps - some involving people, process, and technology.

Comparisons will be drawn between the DoD Joint Staff’s journey and your own organizations’ making this a highly impactful session for information, records, knowledge, IT, and legal professionals alike.
