State Records Manage
Arizona Secretary Of State - Arizona State Library, Archives And Public Records (Aslapr)
During my time with the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, I began my career as a Records Management Specialist and ended as the State Records Manager. During this time, and at the request of the Director, I served as the Preservation Imaging Manager (upon the retirement of the previous Manager), and the Interim Records Management Center Operations Manager.Summary of Job Duties: As the State Records Manager, I served as a subject matter expert on statutory and regulatory requirements, obligations, decisions, policies, practices, and precedents regarding our Agency’s area of technical and administrative direction. I operated in a similar SME role with other state and local agencies in all aspects of Records Management practices, technologies and compliance. I maintained effective liaison relationships with various individuals both inside and outside my agency, including other state and local agencies. In this liaison role, I provided training, consultations, guidance, solutions and assistance to all levels of government officials and employees of both State and Local governments, and in all areas of Records Management, to help them ensure compliance with Records Management / Public Records Request statutes, codes, regulations, etc. An important aspect of records management is the effective and efficient creation, capture, use, control and disposition of records. As such, I created / revised Retention Schedules (both General and Custom), and assisted public bodies with Imaging Requests covering both scanning and microfilming projects. This aspect of my work required me to research, analyze, develop, interpret, or apply appropriate records and information management retention procedures and guidelines. I was required to create written records management standards, guidelines, guidance, reports, trainings, pamphlets and other public statements and guidance for Arizona’s public bodies.
