  • 1.  Call for Mentors

    Posted Aug 27, 2021 04:06 PM

    Dear colleagues,


    The Society of American Archivists' Mentoring Program is currently seeking additional mentoring volunteers! The Mentoring Program connects participants with shared interests in various aspects of the archival profession. The goal is to cultivate career development and communication between members with areas of expertise and members who want to build their knowledge within those areas.


    Do you think you don't have any expertise to share? Some of our colleagues waiting for mentors are just getting started in the profession and are looking for advice on schools, classes, career trajectory, resume development and interviewing skills. For inspiration and insight into what a mentoring partnership looks like, I encourage you to read the recent posts on the SAA Membership Blog written by recent mentoring partners to learn how a relatively small commitment can make a big difference for a colleague at an earlier stage in their career.


    We currently have people waiting for mentors who may have some of the following qualities:


    • Freelance/Consultant
    • Digital Archives and Digitial Preservation
    • Collection Management
    • Donor Relations
    • Outreach
    • Project Management
    • Privacy and Confidentiality 

    Please consider signing up to be a mentor by submitting this application (click on "Apply to be a mentor").


    Thank you for your consideration,


    Renae Rapp
