• Good to see that people are meeting with their matches

• Want to explore ideas on how to encourage matches to meet more often

• Question: Do people request mentor relationships rather than peer to peer support?

  • Intended to be peer to peer, but people ask for mentor support re: archives in general, rather than ASpace specifically. Suggest going to SAA for a mentor program

  • Ask participants what they look for in this match, some say they want to be a mentor, but frequently say they are inexperienced and need support

  • Now prefer to make three-person matches to ensure everyone gets something out of it

• This year’s matches: https://airtable.com/invite/l?inviteId=invWDbkmviybyaWbM&inviteToken=3212a4dc4594d6cfde02c77e3b04f5f3d70cf71161b3e6a57fb472e8679af6b3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=product_team&utm_content=transactional-alerts

NEW PAGE: Member Engagement Work Plan 2023-2024

New template: Workplan Template

• Is a listserv something people are not interested in anymore? Is there a feasible solution/replacement? Another informal engagement opportunity for participants outside of matches?

• Do need to make periodic announcements, can use the listserv for posting notifications

• People like unstructured Zoom coffee/happy/office hour events

• Difficult to drum up participation with the program

• Another platform for message board discussions? Less synchronous so people can engage on their own time

  • Jamboards?

•  Develop calendar

Discussion

• Member Match is one individual at an institution, separate from your organization, do not match people at the same institution

  • Participants tend be solo archivists or one person at a large institution needing to learn from somewhere other than their institution

• Has anyone on the team been a member match participant? Consider the perspective of a participant

•  Explore how we can advertise the program as an “individual” experience – Q&A/FAQ section of the wiki

To-Do List

•  Jessica will ensure Jaime and Will are on the Member Match specific listserv
•  Mary: make FAQ page on wiki we can all add to
•  Present work plan at September TAC/UAC
•  Brainstorm new informal engagement ideas
