Member-Initiated Events
Organize a local event for SCA!
SCA offers support for members to bring California archivists together for networking, discussion forums, site visits, special speakers, mini-conferences, and more. As an SCA member, you may seek financial support and/or request assistance for an event that you would like to organize in your region that is of interest to members and non-members alike.
Submitting a proposal and getting reimbursed:
- Submit a proposal via our Google form. Three weeks lead time is recommended.
Once you are notified that the event is approved, announce your event via Westarch.
Be sure to retain receipts for refreshments or services purchased for your event.
After your event, submit a reimbursement form (along with your receipts, sign-in or RSVP list) with a short report of your event including an approximate head count to memberevents@calarchivists.org in order to be reimbursed for your event expenses.
* Your report may be submitted to the SCA Newsletter to share the great activities that members are organizing. Photos of events are strongly encouraged!
