    ARMA Membership

    What does it cost to join ARMA?
     
    ARMA International has recently introduced a new membership structure we now recognize: Professional members ($175), Associate members ($95) and Friends of ARMA International (customers). Additional chapter dues may apply. All funds are U.S. Dollars.

    Where can I find the date I joined ARMA?
    You can find this under My ARMA. Choose "Membership Information." There you can view all information related to your ARMA membership and renew your membership online.

    Why can't I update my name?
    You can change your name by contacting ARMA International by phone or e-mail. See "Can companies join ARMA?" for more information.

    Can companies join ARMA?
    ARMA's memberships and member numbers belong to individual members regardless of who pays for the membership. In the event that an ARMA member has left an organization and the company wishes to redesignate the membership to his or her replacement, ARMA International allows the previous member to keep their membership for the remainder of the term and the new employee gets a free six month membership. Please contact ARMA Member Services to redesignate a new employee.

     

    General ARMA

    What does ARMA stand for?
    Originally, ARMA was the acronym for the Association of Records Managers and Administrators. Over the years, we have seen a broadening of the profession as records management has become a recognized and integral part of information governance, which is key to doing business. To reflect the changing environment and this "expansion" of the profession, the association's Board of Directors decided to discontinue using ARMA as an acronym and adopted "ARMA International" as a general descriptor of the association.
