Rethinking records. As agencies struggle to keep up with ambitious goals established by the White House and the National Archives and Records Administration to put records management on an electronic footing, they could look to Montel as a model.

Under Montel's guidance, "DOI has demonstrated what good looks like when it comes to records management," said CIO Sylvia Burns.
