As proclaimed by Mayor Daley and the City of Chicago, and by Governor Blogojevich and the State of Illinois [A letter from Rod Blagojevich]:
Records & Information Management Month (RIMM) is being celebrated April 1st - 30th!
[Proclamation]

RIMM Purpose:

Records and Information Management Month (RIMM) will be celebrated internationally for the entire month of April to promote the profession and to emphasize the impact that records and information management has on global business.

RIMM History:

RIMM was first observed in 1995 as National Records and Information Management Day (NRIMD). It was an effort spawned by the members of ARMA's U.S. Government Relations Committee (GRECO) to bring attention to the cause of passing the renewal of the U.S. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
As part of those first festivities, ARMA International hosted a luncheon in Washington, D.C., which was attended by members of Congress and the executive branch. The day served a two-fold purpose of promoting records and information management, as well as advocating the passage of the PRA.
In the years since, the observance has been expanded from a single day to a full month, and it now extends far beyond the U.S. borders, providing opportunities for records and information managers around the world to celebrate and promote the profession.
