Thanks to everyone who came out on Thursday, March 30! CAA met at the Green Room at Symphony Center.  We had a great turnout; 61 members joined us despite the rain. The Steering Committee will distribute the official minutes soon, but in the meantime here are the meeting highlights:

  • The Steering Committee shared our 2016 annual report.
  • The Events, Outreach, and Professional Development subcommittees shared all of the great projects they worked on this year, and announced exciting new projects for 2017. It’s not too late to get involved! Email our subcommittee chairs for more information.
  • Gretchen Neidhardt shared the 2016 Chicago Open Archives report; Steering is still looking for a leader to take COA into the future; if you’re interested email info@chicagoarchivists.org.
