Are you looking for a meaningful way to engage with your field, support other archivists, and connect with colleagues without adding a major time commitment to your calendar? We are still accepting nominations. This is the opportunity you've been looking for!
You can make an impact by joining SAA's Accessioning, Acquisitions, and Appraisal (AA&A) Section by nominating yourself or recommending others for a leadership position on the AA&A Section Steering Committee. This is a meaningful, but relatively low-impact way to get involved and make a difference.
We are seeking individuals for the following three positions:
-
(1) Vice Chair/Chair Elect (3-year commitment as Vice Chair, Chair, and Immediate Past Chair)
-
(2) At-Large Members (2-year commitment)
Steering committee members spend an average of only a few hours per month working on section initiatives and are encouraged but not required to attend SAA's Annual Meeting.
Candidates must be members of both SAA and the AA&A Section at the time of nomination. We encourage candidates of all experience levels and from various types of institutions. If interested, please submit the following materials to the Nominating Committee Chair: rosemary.davis@yale.edu
-
Name, job title, and institution or background in archives (1 sentence)
-
Position for which you are seeking election
-
Brief bio
-
Candidate statement: Please provide a one or two paragraph candidate statement that expresses why you are interested in a position with the Accessioning, Acquisitions, & Appraisal Steering Committee.
If you wish to nominate someone else, please send their name and email address and we will reach out to them to request more information.
Candidate materials must be sent to the Nominating Committee by May 25. Final ballot information will be sent to SAA by June 1. Ballots open for voting on June 24.
Full details on the duties of Steering Committee members are outlined in the Section Standing Rules. Please reach out with any questions!
With gratitude,
Rosemary K. J. Davis
