The Privacy and Confidentiality Section of The Society of American Archivists (SAA) invites you to join our steering committee.
We are seeking nominations for the following positions:
-
Vice-chair/chair-elect (3-year term; one year as vice-chair, one as chair, and one as past chair)
-
Two steering committee members (2-year term)
You don't have to be an expert; you just have to have an interest in driving the conversation about privacy and confidentiality issues within archives! The time commitment is one meeting a month, plus occasional time for program development. Recent past projects have included hosting webinars and journal club meetings and producing research surveys.
To apply, please submit this Nomination Form [docs.google.com] by May 19, 2023. As part of your self-nomination, you'll be asked to provide a brief biography and candidate statement addressing the question: "What projects or initiatives would you be interested in pursuing as part of the Privacy and Confidentiality Section leadership?"
All are encouraged to apply for these positions, including students and early-career archivists, but candidates must be current SAA members and members of this section.
If you're not ready to run yourself, but have a colleague who'd be a great fit, you're also encouraged to nominate others--we'll reach out to them to confirm their willingness to run.
If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to email P & C chair DiAnna Hemsath at dianna.hemsath@unmc.edu.
