   Editor's Note

   

 

 

Dear All, 

To God be the glory!

The much awaited records and information management awareness workshop, awards and exposition (RIMAF Annual events) has come and gone with lot of memories we cannot forget in a hurry.

The event was a huge success as all our invited speakers (local & International) graced the occasion, with insightful and informed presentations, while the exhibition also had a good number of service providers in attendance. 

RIMA Foundation, had the privilege of presenting the first ever 'RIM ICON OF OUR TIME' Award to  Dr. Anne Thurston of the International Records Management Trust (IRMT), UK who emerged following a poll which ran for over seven (7) months online.

My sincere CONGRATULATIONS goes to all our 2011 Awardees and gratitude to our patrons, Havilah Procurement & Library Services Ltd, First Bank of Nigeria, MZ Consulting, Golden Scepter Ltd, Neet Nigeria Ltd, Vconnect. Our media partners, Proshare Nigeria Ltd, BT Comms, Business Process Incubator (BPI), and Research Intelligence.

On a final note, I would like to use this opportunity  to remind us all that the task of building and creating the much desired awareness about this GREAT (RIM) Industry lies in our hands, and participation in RIM related events and activities should be taken seriously and seen as essential by all stakeholders globally.

Let us all endeavour to work together  for a better society and up-liftment of the RIM Industry.

Cheers.

President - RIMA Foundation
