PROGRAM: Marketing your RIM Program

How many people in your organization actually know what your RIM program does?  They may know to call you for certain things, but do they understand what you do?  More importantly, does Senior Management, know what you do?  How can you promote your RIM program to individuals in key departments in your organization, such as legal, IT, etc. In a world where electronic information seems to be the focus of so many, how can you show that records and information management concepts are still relevant?  This program will give you skills and ideas that will help you market yourself and your RIM program to your internal audience.
