- Research and reporting about the profession, its practice, and its practitioners;
- Development of professional growth opportunities;
- Recognition of archivists via scholarships, travel assistance, and awards;
- Programs to enhance the performance of repositories; and
- Efforts to persuade influential external organizations to create or promote archives.
In addition, the SAA Foundation will seek to strengthen itself by enhancing its accountability, development, and governance.
