    On Monday, March 30 the Chicago Area Archivists hosted “Records and Information Management – Making It Work for You!” at University of Illinois-Chicago’s Daley Library.  The 31 attendees were introduced to the concepts of records management, explored the relationship between archives and records management activities, and were given practical guidance for implementing a records and information management program at their own institutions. Presenter Joanne Kaczmarek, Archivist for Electronic Records and Director of Records and Information Management Services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, taught this workshop as part of the MAC Speakers Bureau pilot project.
     
    Thanks to all who attended.  If you missed this one, there will be other opportunities to join your colleagues for Professional Development programs throughout 2015 - including one scheduled for later this spring.  Watch for updates via the CAA listserv or on our website at http://chicagoarchivists.org/events.

    The Chicago Area Archivists Professional Development Subcommittee seeks out volunteers for the 2015-2016 year. Our stated mission is to create and facilitate access to low-cost educational opportunities and to develop new learning opportunities in collaboration with CAA members.

    Volunteers are needed to contribute ideas, facilitate programs, and communicate with members. Discussions primarily take place online with very occasional in-person meetings.

    If you are interested in volunteering, or if you would like more information, please contact info@chicagoarchivists.org.

    We will be discussing Professional Development plans for the upcoming year at the CAA Annual Members Meeting on March 23. Please join us!

    The CAA Events Subcommittee is looking for new volunteers! All CAA Members are encouraged to volunteer; including students and archivists that are new to the Chicago area. Serving on the Subcommittee is a great way to get involved with the CAA community and meet some of your archival colleagues in Chicagoland, as well as add a great line to your résumé.

    By joining the Events Subcommittee you will help brainstorm and plan social activities and events for the archival community, participate in the subcommittee processes, and share your ideas with other archivists. 

    Individuals should be willing to serve at least one year and service commitments are renewable at the Annual CAA Members Meeting. The Events Subcommittee accomplishes most of its work via e-mail, with occasional in-person or virtual meetings. Participation in every planned event is not required.

    If you are interested in volunteering, please contact info@chicagoarchivists.org

    To learn more about CAA and/or the Events Subcommittee, come to the CAA Annual Members Meeting on March 23.
