    Registration (free) will be required; you can do so by going to the zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/IngwOOCTSgyHeEWBpmyjYQ

    The agenda is here

    The meeting will be dedicated to a discussion of the newly created strategic plan and how we as an organization can implement its findings, both short- and long-term.

    A lot of work went into the crafting of this plan, and it is based on comments and suggestions from you, the membership. The Board encourages all interested members to attend the meeting and join in the discussions. 

    After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We sincerely hope you can join us.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out Sue Luftschein at president@calarchivists.org, or any of the other Board members. In addition to learning more about the strategic plan and participating in its implementation, this meeting will be a great way to learn more about the day to day work of SCA’s various committees. A lot goes on behind the scenes and we are always looking for members interested in leadership opportunities with the organization.
