Shanna, Don't forget there is a form to fill out: Records Officer Designation and Responsibilities (RM-25 Form) < http://www.lva.virginia.gov/agencies/records/forms.asp > And remember the LVA schedules training sessions, just give them a call.

Often it is the agency head, or someone designated by the agency head. If the agency/locality is rather large and the records functions are more decentralized, then the head of each unit may well be the approving official. But, again, the answer should be found (or placed) in your policy. Glenn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Glenn T.
