DESCRIPTION

How is the current state of our profession impacting your work in accessioning, acquisitions, and appraisal? Attend the Accessioning, Acquisitions, and Appraisal (AA&A) Annual Section Meeting to create action items that the section steering committee can implement or present to SAA Council. Attendees will choose a break out room to discuss a specific area of concern, such as institutional collecting pauses, hiring freezes, or loss of grant funding.

Agenda

1.   Section business meeting (approx. 15 minutes)
2.   Discussion introduction/break out rooms (approx. 45 minutes)
3.   Reconvene as a large group/reporting out (approx. 30 minutes)

The AA&A Steering Committee understands that there are many concerns about the current state of the profession, which is why it has chosen this topic for the annual section meeting. As stated above, the intent of this session is to create action items that can be implemented by the AA&A steering committee or presented to SAA Council. Attendees will be encouraged to bring their insights and ideas for how we can support one another during this time. While we recognize the value of sharing frustrations with colleagues, the Steering Committee's primary goal for the break out room discussions is to facilitate constructive dialogue that leads to actionable next steps.
