Hi All,
Welcome to the ArchivesSpace User/Technical Advisory Council (UAC/TAC)!
This is just a quick e-mail to let you all know what to expect when your terms start in July.
We will hold a joint orientation in early July for new UAC/TAC and UAC/TAC (User/Technical Advisory Council) members. Look for a Doodle poll from myself or other chair next week.
Based on the information provided during the nomination process and the vacancies left by the outgoing UAC/TAC members, I've assigned each of you to subteams as follows:
- Member: Subteam
We acknowledge that not all members may have received their desired assignment, but we have done our best to meet the balance of subteam needs and incoming member elections. If interested, you can volunteer for a second subteam, which we'll go over in more detail at the orientation.
Thank you for your willingness to contribute to the ArchivesSpace community, I hope you find your service on the council to be as rewarding as I have.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
I look forward to seeing you all the orientation.
All the best,
Chair
