Wednesday November 24th is the deadline for submitting a session proposal for the 2011 annual meeting.
The meeting theme is “Opportunity and Promise: Advocating Archives” so please consider putting together a session proposal to share with your colleagues the opportunities both taken and created for reaching out to communities to build collections and document cultures and events, how you are fulfilling the promise of archives by preserving and making your holdings available and the innovative ways you have found to address the challenges facing your archive.
To make it easy for you a session proposal form can be downloaded for completion from the SSA Annual Meeting page, http://southwestarchivists.org/annualmeeting.html and emailed to program chair, Carol Bartels at carol@hnoc.org.The program committee looks forward to reviewing your proposal.
