Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (CME) is the largest futures exchange in the United States and the second largest exchange in the world for the trading of futures and options on futures. Futures and options provide a way to protect against - and profit from - price changes in financial instruments and physical commodities. CME has four major product areas: interest rates, stock indexes, foreign exchange and commodities. CME is vital to the infrastructure of global finance. The products - futures and options on futures - help commercial enterprises worldwide manage price risks related to the uncertainties of supply and demand.

In March 2004, CME opened its new, state-of-the-art Visitors Center and Gift Shop on the lobby level to highlight the exchange's position in the world's marketplace. Here, the exchange's history, artifacts and trading foundation blend in with interactive kiosks and videos to help viewers understand the origins of the futures industry and how it influences the world's economy. The Visitors Center is open Monday through Friday and is free to the public.

The tour is from 10:00-11:00am. The group will meet in the lobby of 141 W. Jackson, fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of the Tour.


2008 ARMA Chicago Champion Award

No RIM professional is successful alone. Records management is an organization-wide effort. In order to recognize individuals who have provided strong management support for RIM initiatives within their organization, ARMA Chicago has created the Champion Award. The award is for individuals who are not Records Managers or ARMA members, but who have made significant contributions to records management within their organizations. Any ARMA Chicago member can nominate an individual. The award will be presented at the Chicago Chapter Awards Banquet in June. Please make a special effort to look within your organization and nominate those who have helped you succeed. A nomination form is available by clicking here.

All nominations are due by May 15, 2008. Submit your completed form to the ARMA Chicago administrator, Kathy Daloia, at P.O. Box 6034, Buffalo Grove, IL 60034 or arma@armachicago.org.
