First Fridays: Advocacy and Outreach
Friday, September 05, 2025
12:00 p.m. – 01:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time)
Webinar Description:
Come together with colleagues from across the community as we explore strategies and tactics for effective advocacy and outreach for libraries, museums, and archives.
In times of uncertainty, advocacy is essential—it helps secure funding, raise awareness, and ensure the preservation and accessibility of our collections. Yet figuring out where to begin can feel overwhelming. This interactive, open-forum session will provide space to:
• Identify and connect with your audience
• Craft compelling messages
• Share stories of impact
• Exchange ideas and learn from peers
Hosted by the Education Committee, this First Fridays session builds on themes from the webinar Promoting Archival Work Through Advocacy and Outreach—but attendance at the webinar is not required to join.
Please forward any questions or comments to Allura Hays and Shelby Sorensen at educationcommittee@calarchivists.org.
The cost is $0 for SCA members; $0 for student members. This is an SCA Member event only. This event will not be recorded.
Registration is open until September 4.
