Establishing: Tracking and Updating Information

Information management is a large part of any administrative function in an organization.

Information management may include:

• Bookkeeping and other financial accounting tasks
• Preparing documentation for meetings and documenting the minutes
• Handling routine communication among members of the organization
• Maintaining inventories of equipment or supplies.

Perhaps your organization has volunteers willing to be responsible for some of these tasks. These activities are as essential to the success of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) as its primary focus on utilizing medical and health volunteers.
