Register now to attend the Society of Ohio Archivists' fall meeting, "Engage, Educate, Empower: Taking Your Organization to the Next Level," in partnership with the Ohio Local History Alliance. The meeting will take place on Friday and Saturday, October 3-4, at the Holiday Inn in Worthington, with the SOA track running on Friday. This is the third year collaborating with the Alliance for the fall meeting. 

The Friday SOA track will feature a mini hands-on workshop and three sessions. The sessions will demonstrate the use of online exhibition tools; highlight the "I Found it in the Archives" contest; and offer Q&A with a panel of archival experts. The workshop will focus on creating containers.

SOA members will also be able to attend any of the great Alliance sessions on Friday and Saturday. The more than 30 Alliance sessions will cover topics such as grant writing, preparing for disasters, hazardous materials in collections, "speed networking," basic digitization, navigating copyright law, and much, much, more. 

Beyond the many sessions, opt-in events include Friday's lunch and keynote address and evening reception and dinner. The luncheon/keynote address will feature Alan Canfora, the recognized leader of the May 4 Movement for Truth and Justice at Kent State. Canfora was a leader of the 1970 Kent State students' anti-war revolt, an eyewitness and casualty of the shooting incident, and a leading expert about the Kent State tragedy. The evening reception and dinner will take place at the Wine Bistro and will feature appetizers and buffet with a discounted cash bar.
