From the President
Greetings RIM Mavens! Last month we heard an excellent talk from the President and CEO of Contoural, Mark
Diamond, on “How to Prevent Employees from Hoarding Documents.” It was a real privilege to have Mark
speak to our chapter. This month we have another great speaker lined up: Nick Loy from BancTec will be speaking on “Enterprise Information Management.”
I would like to a moment to introduce our newest Board Member - Eric Sedwick. Eric is the Vice President –
Records Management at Frost Bank, and he is our new Vice President of Professional Development. Eric will be
in charge of planning our Seminar in February. This year we will be combining forces with the Austin ARMA
chapter to have a seminar in San Marcos. Please save the date - the seminar will be on Friday February 20th.
Please join me in thanking Eric for stepping up in a Leadership role on the ARMA San Antonio board; THANK
YOU Eric!
Remember, our luncheon this month is at NuStar Energy Headquarters on Tuesday the 18th. I look forward to
seeing you there!

Why is the Cuomo Administration Automatically Deleting State Employees’ Emails?
By Theodoric Meyer, ProPublica, Aug. 11, 2014.
New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration - which the governor
pledged would be the most transparent in state history - has quietly adopted
policies that allow it to purge the emails of tens of thousands of state employees, cutting off a key avenue for understanding and investigating state government.
Last year, the state started deleting any emails more than 90 days old that users
hadn't specifically saved - a much more aggressive stance than many other
states. This article investigates the problems with automatically deleting
email, especially for government agencies, the rationale for why they are doing
so, and policies adopted by different states to handle their email backlog.
The full article may be found at http://www.propublica.org/article/why-is-cuomo-administration-automatically-deleting-stateemployees-emails.

Getting to Know……
By Mandy Cockrell
One of the benefits of our ARMA Chapter is that it gives me a chance to network with people from various professions. During one of our educational luncheons I had the opportunity to meet David Kilgore. David is an attorney with Rackspace Hosting, but after talking to him I learned that he is not your average lawyer.
David was born in Austin, Texas and grew up just south of Houston. He enjoys spending time with his wife Susan, their 2 dogs and their cat. His hobby is motor sports, which tells us he likes life in fast lane. This is probably
why he works for the fast moving company, Rackspace Hosting. David is the technical liaison between legal and
the rest of the organization. E-Discovery, Records Management, Information Governance, and general technology support are his primary tasks.
Prior to working at Rackspace, David worked 20 years as Director of Technology in Rice University’s Jones
Graduate School of Business and also spent 7 years as a Timing and Scoring official for professional sports car
and motorcycle racing series. David holds a JD from St. Mary’s University School of Law, and a BA from the
University of Houston-Clear Lake.
David has come to ARMA to learn more about records and information management. I really enjoyed meeting
David and I look forward to sharing records management ideas with him. And if you have a good records management story, David and I would love to hear it.
