I am pleased to announce that Anita Mechler has joined the Chicago Area Archivists Steering Committee. Anita responded to our call for volunteers to fill the open seat for the 2014-16 term created when our colleague Lisa Calahan resigned to take a new job as Head of Archival Processing at the University of Minnesota.

Anita is the Director of the Library and Archives at the Union League of Chicago and has expressed a drive to help support the local archives community. Thanks to Anita for joining our team.

CAA members interested in the Steering Committee should watch for a forthcoming call for volunteers to fill open seats for the 2015-17 term. Voting for the 2015-17 term will be open to CAA members only and will take place online in the month prior to the Annual Meeting in March (exact date, time, and location to be determined).

Questions or comments can be sent to info@chicagoarchivists.org.

Andy Steadham, Steering Committee Chair (2013-15)
