Collaboration with SAA Records Management section
ERS did a joint section meeting with RMS a few years ago
Leadership skills and development: managing a program/budget, working with HR, building a business case for something, salary negotiation, writing ethical project positions, etc. (Rachel Mattson would be a good person to work with if we do anything with this idea)
