What does ARMA stand for?
Initially, ARMA stood for the Association of Records Managers and Administrators. Over time, the profession has expanded as records management has become an essential component of information governance, crucial for business operations. To align with this evolving landscape and the profession's growth, the association's board of directors chose to stop using ARMA as an acronym and instead adopted "ARMA International" as a general descriptor for the association.
