Arian Ravanbakhsh is a Supervisory Electronic Records Management Policy Analyst in the Office of the Chief Records Officer at the National Archives and Records Administration.
Briefly, I have been at NARA since 2000 and on the records management policy team since 2006. My work has always been focused on writing policies and guidance to help agencies improve their records management practices. The Managing Government Records Directive provides a very clear framework guiding this work as we move forward towards better electronic records management in the 21st century.
I’ve always viewed Records Express as critical to our success in communicating with our stakeholders. We welcome comments and discussion on all of our posts.
Beth Cron is a records management policy analyst in the Office of the Chief Records Officer at the National Archives and Records Administration.
I started as an intern at NARA in the summer of 2007 and joined NARA full-time in 2008. As a member of the records management policy team, we have produced guidance on managing email records with the Capstone approach, cloud computing, email archiving applications, and managing electronic messages. The Managing Government Records Directive has directed our work over the past few years as we move toward electronic recordkeeping in the federal government. We encourage discussion on Records Express as we share updates on our work, draft policies, and events within the Office of the Chief Records Officer.
Darin Coté is a senior records management policy analyst in the Office of the Chief Records Officer at the National Archives and Records Administration.
A CRM since 2009, I began my tenure at NARA in 2008 as the Director of the Fort Worth Federal Records Center. In 2014, I accepted a leadership role on NARA’s Agency Assistance Team. Upon dissolution of the team in 2019, I was asked to join the Policy and Program Support Team within the Office of the Chief Records Officer.
In this role, I formulate recommendations for Government-wide policies, procedures, regulations, and guidance for the management of Federal records in all media. I also provide records management assistance to other Federal agencies. Finally, I manage strategies and communications related to the external Federal records management community by producing a wide variety of written material for dissemination both within NARA and government-wide.
