Through his 50 years of Records Management service for the City of Milwaukee, Jack has seen a lot of changes in Records Management and through it all he found a way to succeed while at the same time serving as a mentor that helped raise others up too.  Statistically a person will change jobs 12 times in their lifetime, and switch careers 5-7 times. Imagine having a resume that only includes one job.  Imagine not needing a resume because you’ve found what you enjoy doing and where you belong. That describes City of Milwaukee Records Center Supervisor, Jack Gaboury, who has been working in records management for 50 years…. in the basement of City Hall.  Over the past five decades, Jack has been a mentor to new employees, exuding remarkable dedication, knowledge, and commitment to excellence.  Jack is a trusted problem-solver who has contributed significantly to the growth and success of the Records Center.  Over this length of time he gained extensive experience and expertise in records imaging and retrieval as well as physical records storage operations, and customer service has made him an invaluable resource for co-workers and the general public alike. His friendly and approachable nature has made them a well-known and highly respected throughout City Hall.   Over his career he has played a part in microfilming paper records only to now see those same microfilm records being converted to digital format.  It’s quite a sight to have a career that outlasted the utility of microfilm!

In addition to exceptional attention to detail, upholding proper records standards, and professionalism, Jack holds steadfast to his ethics which embodies ARMA’s core values of integrity, honesty, and dedication. Jack’s work ethic and unwavering commitment serve the City of Milwaukee is an inspiration to all of us, reminding us of the value of hard work and perseverance.  His contributions have helped shape the success of the Records Center, thus as we celebrate 50 years of service, it is clear that Jack Gaboury has left an indelible mark on the City of Milwaukee’s Record Center.
