OverviewVolunteer professional service, like the ArchivesSpace Advisory Council, is a commitment of time and energy that is not always outwardly visible or well-recognized. We are so grateful for you your Council service, and we hope that for all that you put into this work that you also benefit from the experience in some way. This page is intended to serve as a growing reference resource to increase the visibility of your Council service at your home institution, explain its significance, and/or identify ways in which it supports your career growth. We hope it can be of use in cover letters, job interview responses, annual performance evaluations, promotional portfolios, and conversations about job titles, responsibilities, or compensation. |
