Member Engagement

Purpose of Subteam:

To provide outreach and community support for the ArchivesSpace member community, in collaboration with the Community Engagement Lead.

Major Activities of Subteam:

These outreach and support efforts are primarily achieved through managing the administration and activities of the ArchivesSpace Member Match Program, begun in 2021.  Sub-team members rotate through hosting duties for regular online events, which are limited to Member Match participants and considered a benefit of participation.  Sub-team members are also particularly encouraged to join short-term initiatives that support member needs and interests, such as the Virtual Member Forum, Annual Member Forum,  and ad hoc task forces.

Skills:

• Community outreach and engagement

• Collaboration and teamwork

• Program management

• Exposure to the following tools -- Confluence, Google Docs, Zoom, Airtable, Slack 

Average Workload:

The Member Engagement Sub-Team will generally meet once a month for an hour. Business outside of meetings will primarily be conducted via email, Confluence, and Google Drive. Sub-team members may also meet in smaller groups for working meetings, when needed. Sub-team members rotate through hosting duties for regular online events, which are limited to Member Match participants and considered a benefit of participation;  other sub-team members are encouraged, but not required, to attend all such events.  The estimated average total time commitment is approximately 3-4 hours per month.
