2 015 GRS Feedback Survey

NOTICES

April 28, 2015

Pre-Notice: Request for GRS Feedback

Put your 2 cents into the GRS! The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) would like to know what you think of the new General Records Schedules (GRS), Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and Checklist for Implementing the GRS issued by AC 33.2014.

We’re asking you to participate in a survey because you have indicated an interest in NARA’s records management news and products. Your feedback is important to us, so please let us know what you like and what you think needs more work.

We aren't looking for responses from individual agencies, but from individual users of the GRS--so everyone should feel free to respond.

Next week, you will receive an email with a link to a short online questionnaire.

Later this fiscal year, we will discuss the results of this survey at the Bi-monthly Records and Information Discussion Group (BRIDG) meeting.

Please contact Laura McHale of the GRS Team on 301-821-7559 or [email protected] if you have questions.
