The CAA Steering Committee is seeking a volunteer to fill the open position created when our colleague Lisa Calahan resigned to take a new job as Head of Processing at the University of Minnesota. Lisa was serving a two year term that ends in March 2016.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for leadership experience within the profession. And It's also not an overwhelming time commitment: the CAA Steering Committee meets monthly in or near downtown Chicago. Please consider volunteering to fill this vacant seat.
The CAA Steering Committee will be following the current by-laws, Article V, Section 4 to fill the vacancy: “In case of a vacancy, the Steering Committee shall appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the unexpired term.” To help ease the process of selection, we ask that you submit a written Statement of Interest: one or two paragraphs outlining the reasons you would like to serve on the CAA Steering Committee.
Please send the Statement of Interest to info@chicagoarchivists.org with "CAA Steering Committee" in the subject line by Monday, July 21, 2014. The CAA Steering Committee will be reviewing all submissions at our next meeting on Tuesday, July 29, and will keep the membership informed regarding the selection process.
Best,
Andy Steadham
2013-15 Steering Committee Chair
