News: OCPR Updates | April Is Records and Information Management Month | Topic: Artificial Intelligence and Records Management
Chat: Occurred on March 28 as scheduled, but technical difficulties resulted in no recording for this month. Have a recap, instead: if you weren't at the meeting, you missed a preview of one of our RIM month posters for April. Everything else came straight from the monthly bulletin, and as sometimes happens, there were no attendee comments or discussion, aside from a canine guest who really, really didn't want to lay down.
