In advance of Monday, we'll send registered attendees a survey to vote for which sessions they'd prefer to see. We'll livestream the two sessions which receive the most votes.

The Society of California Archivists is aware that many of our colleagues are unable to attend SAA this year due to State of California travel restrictions. Due to the unusually high number of members unable to attend the national meeting this year, SAA has provided SCA members four complimentary registrations for group viewings of the conference live stream. The live stream schedule can be viewed at this link.

If you are willing to organize a group viewing of the live stream in your area, please email memberevents@calarchivists.org by 9am on Friday, August 2 with the following information:

- Name of organizer (an SCA member)

- Venue

- Approximate number of participants

- Any additional funds requested, e.g. for refreshments (reimbursement will be $5 per attendee)

Proposals will be approved in the order in which they are received.
