SAA’s Women Archivists Roundtable and Membership Committee are pleased to sponsor the Navigator Program, which matches conference veterans with first-time attendees.

Navigators share their experience, advise you on sessions and special events that suit your interests, and facilitate networking with other attendees. Stop by the Onsite Registration Desk for more information.
