Every year, the Vice President is charged with appointments to committees and appointed groups. As I embark on this task during my term, I want to call everyone to action.
October 17, 2024—In 2026, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding.

If you are considering commemorating the Semiquincentennial in 2026, then join SAA for a conversation with American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) staff member Madeleine Rosenberg. On October 25 at 1:00 p.m.
A powerful story has the potential to connect us to our own experiences, pull a community together, and engage new audiences with our work.

The American Archivist Editorial Board invites proposal submissions for a special section in American Archivist, illuminating the wide-ranging spectrum of user experience topics and initiatives in the archives field today.

September 5, 2024—The Society of American Archivists has received a $150,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant program to establish a prioritized research agenda for the archival profession.
September 3, 2024—SAA's elected leaders make critical contributions to shaping the Society. Are you interested in learning how to make a difference and hearing more about the current open positions in SAA? Join the Nominating Committee for a panel discussion with past candidates about what each of the positions entails and the opportunity to ask questions about running for the upcoming 2025 election.
