2018 Section Election - Call for Nominees

Interested in protecting archives and cultural heritage objects from the threats of crimes? The Security Section is seeking nominations for a new member to join the leadership. We are seeking candidates for the position of Chair-Elect. This is a three-year term (August 2018 to August 2021) - year one as Chair-Elect, year two as Chair, and year three as Immediate Past Chair. We encourage candidates from any size or type of archive or cultural heritage institution, and even beyond the archives world, to apply for this position.

In addition to duties related to the annual meeting and the operations of the section, the new Chair-Elect will contribute to Archives Security, the blog of the Security Section. Established in 2016-17, this venue is a way to explore issues related to crimes against objects of enduring cultural value.
