And Then, There Was Cake

Sometimes, you get so caught up in the day-to-day world of work that it is easy to overlook some significant milestones. The end of August is the time of year when our office has two significant milestones to celebrate. In 2012, the Managing Government Records Directive was released on August 24. And on August 29, 2013, we issued the groundbreaking Capstone approach to managing email. Earlier this week, we took time to mark these milestones, with, what else, cake.

Our staff enjoyed the opportunity to take a few moments to mark all the work that has been accomplished over the last few years. It’s been a busy few years and we anticipate it will get even more busy as all of us in the Federal records community work toward the 2016 and 2019 goals in the Directive. Use the comments to let us know how we are doing. Stay tuned.

And yes, no Federal records were harmed in the baking, cutting or consuming of these cakes.
