There was one UAC registration due to a change in job duties. While it’s always disappointing to lose a member, this was a substantial improvement over last term.

A volunteer has been found for the request to participate is a session organized by the SAA Usability and Accessibility sections. The program team had been approached separately earlier in the winter and also agreed to participate.

The ArchivesSpace developers are coming to the March meeting and everyone is looking forward to the conversation.

TBD

A Vice Lead for Tech Docs has not yet been found. Rachel and Austin are engaging the group in conversation about possibilities. We discussed that there may be an opportunity to reconsider this work. Christine will talk to Thimios and get back in touch with Rachel and Austin.

Identifying Vice Chairs for next term

All

We talked about ways that people can be encouraged to take on this role as well as specific people that could be approached if people don’t volunteer themselves.

Rachel and Suzanne will review and update the handbook documentation that a future chair/vice chair may need, including the yearly activities page.

Anything else?

Preparation for the session at the Virtual Member Forum is underway. Rachel and Suzanne will pay attention for specifics about their involvement.

Nominations process is also getting underway. We discussed whether it would be good this year to take on members beyond the number of openings from people coming off the Councils. Doing so will not require a formal proposal to the board, just a discussion/agreement with the Nominating Committee. It is never too early to encourage people to think about volunteering/volunteering others.
