Virtual Event: Raising Your Voice for Archives

Archivists are concerned about recent developments at the national level affecting records we work with, our institutions, our users, and our professional lives. But how can we practically and effectively address issues that concern us?

Join SAA on April 21 at 2:00 p.m. CT for a webinar tackling this topic. This free webinar will provide just-in-time training to assist archivists who want to speak up on issues as they emerge.

Whether you are new to advocacy or looking to refresh your skills, this webinar will provide information on how best to craft a message and get it to Congress or other influential individuals.

We’ll talk about: 

• focusing your message for the person/audience you want to address;
• making the best case for your concerns;
• options for delivering your message including visits, email, social media, phone calls and other alternatives;
• dealing with the realities of advocacy in the current environment; and 
• staying up-to-date on emerging issues and finding ways to adjust to the changing environment for advocacy.

Join speakers Kathleen D. Roe and Bryan Whitledge in tuning up one of the skills in your  advocacy toolkit so you can provide an authoritative and compelling voice for archives and archivists.
