Breakouts

Working in small groups facilitated by a Council leader, use the discussion questions to brainstorm ideas for improvements and new initiatives around each of the themes. Groups will rotate through the three themes. Ideas will be shared in cumulative Google docs available to all participants.

Leading Teams: For those of you in a leadership position, what motivated you to step forward to lead your team/council?  What have been the biggest rewards? What challenges have you encountered?  How might you respond if a trusted colleague asked for your honest assessment of the experience?   

For those of you considering stepping in to a leadership position or about to rotate into one, what are your professional and personal goals in relationship to this role? 

For all, what might success look like for you in terms of leading as part of the AS community?  How could the ArchivesSpace team and governing board help you achieve this success, and to generally support the development of leaders within the archival field?

Building Teams:  Why did you decide to get involved in the UAC/TAC, and what have been the major rewards from the experience?  In what ways can we better communicate the opportunities to the AS community to encourage more participation?

What makes a successful TAC/UAC team?  If you’ve been on more than one team, compare and contrast those experiences. What worked particularly well? What didn’t?  Within the teams environment, how can we cross pollenate without duplicating work?

How can we ensure that each team has the right number and mix of skills, expertise, technical knowledge, etc.?

Supporting and Sustaining Teams:  What additional support could the ArchivesSpace Team or Council chairs offer when your term begins? What do you wish you knew in your first months on the Councils?

Are there administrative aspects of your work that the ArchivesSpace team could assist with that would make it easier to focus on your team’s core work? If you could delegate one aspect of what you or your team do, what would it be?

With revolving terms and membership on each team, how can we preserve forward momentum through membership cycles?

Reporting and full group discussionA designated reporter from the last group

Kat

The facilitators for each of the three themes will report on and lead further discussion on that topic.

10 min

Anything else (i.e. is there a topic beyond the breakouts and the reporting from the breakouts that we want to be sure to cover in the big group?)

such as Formalizing the composition and roles of teams beyond what we already do: Is this important? If so, what needs to be discussed at a team level? What needs to be discussed at a broader or higher level? What should be built into the Nominating Committee process? What should be built into the onboarding process?Serendipity - is there anything else that has surfaced today that you’d like to discuss together?
