Dear archivists:
The Collection Management Section is accepting nominations for the Steering Committee!
We strive to provide a forum for discussion where user communities, developers, and service providers can comfortably share knowledge and expertise that will ensure collection managers can utilize the features and functions of their tools to full potential.
Would you like to help shape the direction of collection management standards, practices, tools, and more? We are currently accepting nominations for the following positions:
- One Vice-chair/Chair-Elect (2 year commitment; one year as vice-chair, one year as chair)
- One Steering Committee Member (2 year commitment)
- One Web Liaison (2 year commitment, manages the section's web presence, including the SAA microsite, by posting meeting minutes, community resources, election information, and any other communication on behalf of the Steering Committee)
For more information about these roles and the section as a whole, please check out the Collection Management Section microsite. Time commitment for each position would consist of monthly meetings with occasional work to do between meetings. We also pause activities in the summer after the section's Annual Meeting.
If interested, please submit a brief biography and candidate statement (1-2 paragraphs each) describing your interest in serving in one of these positions by the end of the day Friday May 17. Nominations should be submitted to Jane Gorjevsky Chair, Collection Management Section, at jg2138@columbia.edu. Please feel free to reach out to me or any of the current office-holders with your questions or concerns!
We hope you will bring your knowledge and experience, connect with fellow archivists and cultural heritage workers, and help us support the future of archival collections.
We look forward to your submission!
Sincerely,
Jane Gorjevsky
SAA Collection Management Section Chair, 2023-2024
