This will also be offered in hybrid format (with both in person and virtual options to attend). \n\nTopic: Strategies for Managing Project Files\nManaging project files can feel daunting. How are you supposed to handle all these records that feel like they should have different retention lengths? How do you keep drafts and proposals separate from the final product?

In honor of RIM month\, we’ll tackle these (and other!) questions and discuss strategies on how to keep your project files managed. \n\n👤Presenter: Hannah Kolesar\, Senior Records Consultant\, Washington State Archives\nHannah Kolesar is a Senior Records Consultant with the Washington State Archives\, working to bring clarity to the public records retention process. She holds a Master’s of Library and Information Science from Drexel University and a Master’s of Jurisprudence from the University of Washington. Prior to pivoting to records management\, she worked in academic and museum archives. She is the only person to have ever been excited to pay a recording fee.\nThe ARMA Cascadia Chapter hosts meetings and educational programs monthly from September to June each year.  \nCurrent members of the ARMA Cascadia Chapter will receive an invitation automatically. Not a member? You’ll need to email the Chapter to get meeting details.
