The International Archival Affairs Section (IAAS) of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) is seeking nominations for:
-Vice-chair/chair-elect (2-year term; serving in year one as junior co-chair and in year two as senior co-chair)
-Two steering committee members-at-large (3-year term)
Our steering committee provides a great venue for your leadership! With two active virtual program series, we look forward to continuing these in the next few years as well as developing ideas that you have for the Section. The time commitment is one hour per month for virtual committee meetings with occasional additional time for programs and initiatives. (Attending the SAA Annual Meeting in person is not required.)
We are eager to broaden representation and perspective on our committee, so consider adding your identity group or geographic location to our steering committee. Archivists not based in the USA are warmly welcome to apply. Self-nominations are also welcome. All candidates must be current SAA members.
Submit your nomination to Jennifer Dantchev at jendantchev@gmail.com by May 20, 2023. Please provide a paragraph with a brief biography, along with a paragraph of statement of interest as to why you would like to run for the position.
Thanks for your consideration! Feel free to contact me or Jennifer with any questions.
Sincerely,
Ellen Engseth
Chair, SAA IAAS
