Jerry Kirkpatrick
Jerry has been a Records Management Specialist since July 2008. He serves as the primary contact for Retention Schedules and Imaging Requests, as well as providing Records Management training around the State. Prior to working with the ASLAPR, he was the Maricopa County Records Manager for four years, and has enjoyed working in the Records Management profession for 17 years. He graduated from Arizona State University in 1986, with a Bachelor’s Degree in History, and has been fascinated by history and records from an early age. His interest in records grew into a deep respect for Records Management during three years of teaching English for a University in Northeastern China (1988 – 1991). Talking with the Chinese families of his University students about book burnings, purges and rewrites of historical records, and then experiencing firsthand a Nation’s leadership focused on the future only - at the expense of the past, made him deeply aware of the importance of preserving our records and history for those who will come after us.
