REMINDER: Please volunteer for the NDRFA Silent Auction!

  • 1.  REMINDER: Please volunteer for the NDRFA Silent Auction!

    Posted Aug 05, 2024 04:31 PM
    Hello!

    If you're planning to attend the ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2024 Annual Meeting in person, we're still looking for table volunteers for support the National Disaster Recovery Fund for Archives Silent Auction.

    Monitoring the Silent Auction is easy and fun! Hundreds of SAA conference attendees stop by every year to look over the items, and working at the tables is a great way to network and to reconnect with friends and acquaintances.

    The auction will take place on Thursday, August 15th, and Friday, August 16th, at the Annual Meeting in the Hilton Chicago. We still have 23 slots available, and are especially in need of volunteers for the 4:00-6:00 PM Friday Item Pickup slot. 

    Please visit our signup page (link below) to review the remaining time slots, and click on the "Sign Up" button to volunteer for one slot (or more). Differing slightly depending on your timing, volunteer responsibilities include:

    • helping to set up the auction items (morning/opening shifts only), 
    • helping to keep the tables of items and bid sheets neat and clear,
    • answering questions, 
    • promoting the auction on social media,
    • and helping to contact winners and verify their donations when distributing their items (on Friday afternoon only).

    We will be in touch by email early next week with a final schedule and basic instructions for everyone. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
