Program Information
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.
