Just a reminder that our annual Records Administration Conference (RACO) is going to be held tomorrow morning at our downtown building. Registration has been closed for a while because we’ve reached the capacity of the McGowan Theater. However, this year, like we’ve done with the last couple of BRIDG Meetings, we will providing a live stream of the event.
