Call for Volunteers

ARMA International's task force structure is built to give you the opportunity to volunteer for targeted, specific opportunities to help the association, the profession, and your own development in a time-sensitive manner. Thank you for considering this volunteer opportunity!

For ARMA International policies and procedures concerning task force participation, visit ARMA International's Governance area.

Are you interested in participating in the review and selection of the 2012 ARMA International award recipients? There is a new volunteer opportunity waiting for you!

The Awards Task Force’s major role is to identify review submissions and determine the recipients for the awards during the 2011-2012 fiscal year to be presented at the 2012 conference in Chicago

The task force is chartered from February 2012 to September 2012 and will review submissions as recognized in the Awards Recognition Program. A listing of the awards in the program can be found here. The task force work has been grouped together in smaller, more manageable pieces to allow for those individuals interested in and having a required skill set to review certain awards. See each group listed below for the awards that they will review, the time frame covered, number of volunteers needed, and required skill set. Individuals may be selected for more than one group as long as a majority of the reviewing timeframe does not overlap. No more than one individual will be selected from a geographic region per group.
