[SOA] CFP: SAA 2015 in CLEVELAND, Aug 16-22

[Carleton, Janet]

Dear Ohio Archivists,

The call for session proposals is now open for SAA 2015 to be held in CLEVELAND, Aug 16-22. See this link for more on the CFP: http://www2.archivists.org/am2015/program/call-for-session-proposals? 
"With a mandate from the Council and the membership at large to experiment with new ideas, SAA is shaking things up for its 79th Annual Meeting! The most obvious change is the venue itself: We will be meeting at the Cleveland Convention Center rather than in a traditional conference hotel. But changes in the program development process also are in the works. In addition to the current program model, for example, there will be an opportunity to address more time-sensitive topics via pop-up sessions that can be anything from spur-of-the-moment crowds brought together through social media to more deliberate gatherings of likeminded archivists with specific agendas. And to continue the trend begun in 2013, sessions will be shorter, less formal, and more interactive."

The proposals will be vetted by the Program Committee, who are not from Ohio. 

BUT your Host Committee is! Please feel free to contact your local HC members (see list below) with ideas for institutional or themed tours (Rock walk? Gilded Age? War of 1812?), food, drink, and anything else we should take into consideration to offer an amazing Cleveland conference experience. We will also need volunteers to help with registration, conduct tours, etc. Thanks!! janet
