In a significant milestone for RIMPA Global, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Bonita Kennedy Life ARIM as our new Chair of the Board. With an impressive career spanning over 30 years in records management and two decades in consulting, Bonita brings a wealth of experience and a deep-rooted commitment to our community values.

"I've been working in records management for over 30 years and consulting for over 20. I've worked at all levels of government and the private sector on various projects during my career, including working interstate and overseas and I am excited to bring these learnings to RIMPA Global", shared Bonita, reflecting on her extensive professional journey.

A proud South Australian, Bonita has not only dedicated her career to records management but has also remained an active member of our vibrant community.

"I believe strongly in community and will do my best to ensure we continue to build a fair and equitable association for our members," affirmed Bonita, emphasising her dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive community within RIMPA Global.

Expressing her enthusiasm for the future, Bonita stated, "I'm really excited about the direction that RIMPA Global is heading and honored to be given the opportunity to Chair our Board." She added, "I'm also super excited that this year's RIMPA Live Convention 2024 will be in my home state, and I will be sharing lots of reasons to head to SA on LinkedIn over the next few months."

As we warmly welcome Bonita Kennedy to her new role, the entire RIMPA Global community looks forward to a year of innovation, growth, and strengthened community bonds under her capable leadership.

Moreover, the RIMPA Global Board is on the verge of unveiling the upcoming Strategic Plan for 2024 and 2025.
