2. Council Update (Petrina): Native American Protocols have been passed. Task Force will be formed on guidelines for vendors (SAA does not yet have one). And, we as Steering Committee should feel free to contact Petrina directly for conversation about what is going on, should we have any questions about an issue or something timely.

3. Ideas for next year’s theme? (all)

-Connect to Native American Archives Protocol?

-Petrina shares the Committee on Education is looking at workshops - our Section might consider offering workshops due to our wide expertises, to offer wider skills and next voices and new perspectives. There are lots of opportunities. Remember teachers gets paid. Elvia reminds us about the talents of newer colleagues too. We see there is need for soft skills ones, (leadership, inclusion, management), donor relations, collection development (the full cycle of strategy through to execution, the full landscape). Re. workshop models, could we offer shorter / webinars towards the same goals and on C&Us? Would this meet needs? Would this be useful to our members? Shall we come up with a list of our areas of expertise, that members could request webinars on? How else can we offer education and meet members’ needs in fresh ways?

Discussion to continue this fall.
