The Performing Arts Section (PAS) is inviting nominations for both the Co-Chair and three Steering Committee Member positions.
Serving in a leadership role on the Section is a wonderful way to become more involved with PAS and SAA and get to know other archivists.
Members of SAA and PAS are encouraged to apply for a position as an officer or member of the Steering Committee. Membership in both SAA and PAS is a condition of the nomination. The term for each office is two years, beginning in September 2023.
If you wish to nominate yourself or someone else, please complete this form [link to Google form]. All nominations are due by 11:59 PM PST on May 27, 2023. If you are nominated by someone else, you will have an opportunity before the ballot goes live to write your own candidate statement. You will need to resubmit the form for each nomination.
Candidates may only run for one position. If you are nominated for multiple positions, you must choose which position you'd like to run for.
