Cataloging & Organizing with Optional Half Day Tour Jenn Wilson Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo This session will provide you with a presentation on how the zoo catalogs and organizes their records and animals. We will have a presentation and a brown bag lunch at the auditorium. After the presentation, we will have a behind the scenes tour of the zoo's aquarium. When presentation and tour are over, you are free to stay at the zoo at no additional charge for the remainder of the day. Jenn Wilson grew up in a small town in Iowa. Her love of wildlife led her to earn a BS in Animal Ecology from Iowa State University in 2002. In 2003, Jenn moved to Omaha and began working as a keeper of cats and bears at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo. After 4 years of Zoo keeping, the Registrar position came open. The timing was perfect as Jenn was pregnant with her second child and also looking to be challenged in her career. In September 2007 Jenn became the new full time Registrar for the zoo and hasn’t looked back. Although the job is at times more challenging than she anticipated she loves every minute of it. Jenn is married to Chris Wilson and has a 5 year old son “JJ” and a 2 year old daughter, Ana. In her spare time (ha ha like that exists) she enjoys spending time with friends and family, going to church, traveling, and wildlife watching. Jenn has been to Cancun, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, and Alaska but really looks forward to the day when she can visit Africa and Australia. She says “nothing is as amazing as seeing the animals you have worked with out in their natural habitat.” LOCATION/SCHEDULE Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo 3701 S 10th Street Omaha, NE 68107 11:00 - Networking 11:30 - Lunch 12:00-1:00 - Presentation 1:00-4:00 - Optional Tour RESERVATIONS Please make reservations to Cori Brock, Program Director via e-mail cbrock@sarpy.com or phone (402) 593-1578.

Applying the GARP Maturity Model to Your Organization Nick DeLaurentis CRM, SCLA State Farm Corporate Headquarters Does your organization see records and information as an asset? What does it mean to have an organization compliant with recordkeeping requirements? Is your organization's information protected to ensure business continuity in the event of security violations, physical damage, confidentiality 'leaks' of sensitive information, and other actions and uncontrolled events? Records and recordkeeping are inextricably linked with any organized activity. As a key resource in every operation of today's business environment, records must be created, organized, secured, maintained, and used in a way that effectively supports the activity of that organization. These needs can be fulfilled only if recordkeeping is at the root of all activity. To achieve this transparency, ARMA International developed the Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles(GARP) for organizations to adhere to records and information management standards and principles. Without adherence to these standards and principles, organizations will have poorly run operations, legal compliance failures, and - potentially - a mask for improper or illegal activities. This session will focus on: 1. Describing the purpose of the Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles 2. Explaining the intent of the GARP maturity model and various levels 3. Identifying the process to measure the maturity level of an organization 4. Providing insight into the possible future of GARP Nick works in the Systems Technology - Enterprise Content Management area of State Farm at their Corporate Headquarters in Bloomington, IL. There he serves in a technical analyst and team lead role on the Information Retention Infrastructure and Services team - providing analytical, consulting, and research expertise on enterprise records and information management (RIM) initiatives. An active leader in the RIM profession and current President of ARMA International's Board of Directors, Nick also currently serves on both the Association Infrastructure and the Member & Practice Support Committee, the Program Planning Task Force, and chairs the Executive Director Compensation Task Force. He is a frequent speaker at ARMA International meetings, seminars and conference at the local, regional and association level.
