Summer 2022

June is here and so is the Certification test. Thank you in advance to those members who are helping to proctor the exam. We appreciate your service. Good luck to members taking the exam to recertify. I hope everyone who needed to recertify this year was successful in entering your activities into the new Prolydian software system. And I will take a moment to thank Stephanie Bayless and her team for their hard work checking the entries and recertifying our members. Everyone can enter their activities into the system now. You do not need to wait until the five years are up. If you need help getting into the system please contact the Regent for Recertification certificationmaintenance@certifiedarchivists.org, or Association Manager, Mike Breslin, at office@certifiedarchivists.org.

Please don’t forget to vote. The election is running from June 1st to 11:45 pm, June 15th (Eastern US time). To review the candidates, please go to:
https://www.certifiedarchivists.org/election-2022. All full members should have received an automated message from "Academy of Certified Archivists” containing your personalized voting link and access key. These can only be used to vote once, and your voting choices will remain anonymous. Do not forward that email and do not reply to that email to vote, as your vote will not be registered. If you need help please contact the office at office@certifiedarchivists.org.

July 1 will be time for dues again – please pay on time. If you have not paid by September 30, your access to the member side (and your ability to enter recertification points) of the website will be disabled until you pay your dues.

Also, stay tuned for information about the August general membership meeting which will again be held on Zoom to allow more people to attend. The Board is trying to arrange a social event during the SAA meeting in Boston, and if we can arrange something, information will be sent out.
