Member Match program
thoughts on implementation buddies documents that were shared with us last meeting?
send email with call for applicants to those who signed up previously
what are the expectations for those participating?
should we set up different matches?
mentors and mentee
partnership [collaborative]
add a question to the application
maybe have a question for general archival skill areas
have people rank their level of expertise with ArchivesSpace areas
questions on what you expect to get out of this relationship/program
considered a layered survey that has categories for type of users - skip to different portions of the survey based on type of user [can be set up that way]
ask everyone about archival skills, needs for ArchivesSpace/what they are working on and what they expect out of the program and checkbox for agreeing to ArchivesSpace Code of Conduct [last page of survey]
also free text fields to learn more
Specific Questions about the institutions, people they serve, collecting areas [demographics of the institution]
add identity questions at the end of application similar to SAA Mentoring Program questions [add additional question about doing our best to match based on this criteria but you can opt out if you would like]
add question on level in their career and what level they would like to match with
how often will we review applications
annual push for applications
how long is the program
for this first group 9 months; 3 months of review and evaluation - setting up matches
send out call for application in the beginning of March; make matches by end of June; have first meet up in August for annual forum; open call with sub-team to meet up with matches to talk about expectations and answer questions
can people sign up for another match after the term has ended
Working with ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership program
part of member match; and their match will be a mentor and guide them
need to prioritize them for matches
and need to find the right three matches for these institutions
the program is for three years; those matches are expected to have a longer term relationship
