<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Program Information<br>
</span></b>Join us for an opening session on strategic planning and help SOA to
create a strategic plan. Facilitator J.D. Britton of the Ohio Historical
Society will lead SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)
analyses for both SOA and for the field of archives as a whole. SOA invites
members and non-members alike to participate. The SWOT exercise is also great
experience for beginning strategic planning at your own institution. <br>
