We have been making some changes to the website lately and you might have noticed that we have a new section to honor our Janet Olson Award winners! We are honored to create an award in Janet's honor. From her biography:

Janet's dedication to the local archives community is inspiring.  She was instrumental in the revitalization and optimal functioning of the Chicago Area Archivists organization.  From 1999 to 2014 she has served as chair, treasurer and membership director, and overseen such initiatives as the formation of the steering committee, updating of by-laws, online presence including website, list-serv, and membership directory.  She expertly fostered collaboration and quietly guided steering committee members to explore new ways of fulfilling the organization’s mission.
