European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): A Path Towards Records/Information Management Compliance
MARA Guest Lecture
The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect on May 25, 2018. The regulation is designed to protect the privacy rights and freedoms of individuals residing in the EU. However, the regulation is being deemed the new “gold standard” for privacy protection globally. Under GDPR, individuals have specific data subject rights relating to data erasure/deletion and organizations have defined data retention and destruction responsibilities. In this session, Lisa will introduce attendees to GDPR and share how to facilitate a path towards records/information management compliance under the regulation.
Global Records Management for Aquariums and Zoos
MARA Guest Lecture
What’s the first thing you think of when someone asks you about your trip to the zoo or aquarium? It’s likely the animal and marine life you encountered—not the records behind the scenes. But those institutions must show evidence of having modern (preferably electronic) records management systems for managing animal records, veterinary records, and other relevant information. Guest speaker Josh Courteau will discuss the role records play in managing a world’s worth of animal data and describe the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) used by more than 1,100 institutions in over 96 countries. Guest speaker Matt Seguin will discuss research being conducted at Mote Marine Laboratory and his role in maintaining accurate physical and digital records of the animals in the collection.

Our speakers, Nathan Owens and Pari Swift, will share their journey from the RFP to implementation, to on-going maintenance of a system at a large state agency.
