Technical Publications: Discounted to the ARMA International members, these publications are available to you as a resource in the records and information management fields.

Take the opportunity to meet others in your field who share the same challenges and concerns by networking in your local chapter, as well as through the association’s structure.
Industry Groups: Industry groups focus on the specific needs of a particular industry (i.e., educational institutions, legal services, banking, and communications). It is an effective means of establishing a national/international network within an industry of ARMA International members with common goals and objectives, working together to solve their unique problems. The professional needs of records and information management (RIM) professionals are as diverse as the industries they represent. These groups were specifically formed to link together those professionals working in similar industries facing similar needs. You can find more information here.
