ACA BOARD ELECTION RESULTS 

Each year we welcome new board members to our leadership team. We couldn’t do this without all of you who agreed to run as candidates. Thank you so much for considering these board roles and lending your expertise and energy to the Academy and all Certified Archivists! Apologies for errors in the initial email of election results. 

 

 

MEMBERSHIP FORUM 

Thank you to those who attended the membership forum on April 6 to discuss the recent American Archivist article “Who is this Godot? The Academy of Certified Archivists and Graduate Archival Education” written by Ashley Todd-Diaz and Alex H. Poole. We had a productive conversation and generated many ideas for how best to respond. A small group of interested members have just begun the process of determining our way forward for writing a response. We will continue to share out to membership as we progress.  

 

SAVE THE DATE: AUGUST 15 

Our annual membership meeting will be held via Zoom on August 15. For the past several years we have convened this meeting online rather than in-person in conjunction with the Society of American Archivists meeting. We have found that this allows more people to attend and be involved. Meeting time and link will be available in the coming weeks.
