The National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators (NAGARA) Program Excellence Award recognizes collaborative and innovative government archives and records management programs or initiatives. Recipients of this award demonstrate a commitment to creativity and partnering with people and groups outside of their own office.
The 2023 award goes to the University of Virginia Records & Information Management Office. Since its founding in 2009, RIM has become an established, well-connected member of the University of Virginia grounds - as evidenced by the multiple letters of support from a variety of departments. The team shows their dedication to their partners by working side-by-side with departments - often showing up in work clothes and ready to get dusty! These efforts, along with their education initiatives and innovative use of technologies, brought the UVA into compliance with the Virginia Public Records Act. Their strategies are a model for the NAGARA and broader information management community.
