SNAP Steering Committee 2020-2021
Meeting #3: Thursday, December 10, 2020
Time: 5:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM CT/ 8:30 PM ET

  1. Ex-Officio Discussion:
    1. An applicant for an Ex-Officio position reports from overseas. Current bylaws do not exclude non-members from holding Ex-Officio positions. Consensus: scheduling difficulties may arise, but are not prohibitive to participation.
    2. Low documentation for blog - use Google folder to continue knowledge transfer to onboarding Ex-Officio members.
  2. Election Results - Congrats to all!

    1. Past project, Alison Clemens asked if this is something we’d be interested in continuing
    2. SAA embedded microsite

  4. SNAPpy Hour reflection
    1. Overall successful, although more of an “impromptu steering committee meeting” due to attendance. 
    2. Review of SAA SNAP Archivists Hacks idea sheet - suggest 15-30 minute “resource library”
    3. Additional suggestions include scheduling later in the evening (more accessible to students/west coasters) and/or holding multiple sessions in one day to improve scheduling and student chapter outreach/participation. 
    4. Session recap = blog post opportunity!
    5. Establish a small working group to discuss formation contributors, etc. May be more successful with targeted questions/topics.
