The Member Match program serves to engage the ArchivesSpace membership community. It was created and organized by the Member Engagement sub-team of the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, with support from the ArchivesSpace Community Engagement Coordinator. The program is intended to be a resource and venue for peer-to-peer support between ArchivesSpace members. For one, year-long term, participants will be matched with a member with whom they can receive and offer professional insight, advice, and comradery. The program will also offer participants the opportunity to engage in exclusive events and enlightening discussions about ArchivesSpace and its active user community.
Thanks to valuable feedback from the first cohort of Member Match Participants, we’ve implemented the following updates to the programThe program includes:
Monthly Listserv Discussion Topics
Each month, a member of the Member Engagement sub-team will reach out to the Member Match listserv to spur discussion and encourage continued engagement between matches.
Quarterly Member Match Meet-Ups
These will be opportunities for large group socializing as well as the potential for dedicated time to spend with matches in breakout rooms.
Option to participate in small group matches of 3 people
...
Members of the sub-team will thoughtfully review applications received and make decisions that make the best possible matches.
Members will respond to questions and issues from matches in a timely manner.
Members will be responsible for setting up and conducting cohort meetings, activities, and events throughout the match year.
Members will be transparent and open in communication, trustworthy, and confidential when necessary.
