Dear Colleagues,
The
International Archival Affairs Section (IAAS) is seeking nominations and self-nominations for two positions on the Section's steering committee:
•
Junior Co-Chair: two-year term, with one year served as junior co-chair, the following year as senior co-chair
•
Steering Committee Member-at-Large: one position, for a three-year term
Who should consider serving? Any member of both SAA and IAAS who is interested in exploring how archivists in SAA can engage with, learn from, and be of support to colleagues and counterparts beyond the borders of the United States, and who wishes to broaden their understanding of what it means to be an archivist to include a truly global perspective.
What does it involve? In addition to preparing the contents of the Section's annual meeting, and encouraging the submission of session proposals related to international archival topics for the annual conference, members of the steering committee seek creative ways to connect with the profession internationally throughout the year.
What should I do if I'm interested? If you would like to nominate yourself or a colleague, please contact any of the members of the steering committee listed below, to submit a nomination or to find out more information. The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, May 22, with candidate statements to be sent to SAA in early June, and electronic balloting to be held in late June or early July, with results to be announced at our virtual annual meeting in August.
Thanks very much for your consideration!
