When I started working in Records 11 years ago, I was part time. Very shortly after that, our Senior Records Clerk quit, and left us scrambling to figure things out. I stepped in, and immediately joined LERMA. I went to my first conference in Frankenmuth, and immediately started making connections with other records personnel. These connections became invaluable to me, as whenever I had a question or didn’t know how to handle something, I knew that I had 150 other agencies I could reach out to. The forum section of the website was super helpful, along with the email addresses and phone numbers I was able to collect as I continued to talk with members. Now, 11 years later, I am far from an expert at my job, but I rest easy knowing that I have a community of people that are just a phone call/email away.
