[SOA] MAC workshops update --still some spaces

[Carleton, Janet]

If you haven't yet registered for the Midwest Archives Conference annual meeting in Chicago  and are thinking about taking one of MAC's superior yet low cost workshops, here's an update:

There's still room in the NHPRC and Strategic Planning workshops.

Wed 3/21 9am-5pm: Getting What You Need to Do What You Want (an NHPRC grant writing workshop) $65
This workshop will introduce you to the competitive archival grant programs at the National Archives and Records Administration, which are made through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). The primary emphasis of this workshop will be on the Access to Historical Records-Archival Projects grant program. A program director from the NHPRC will help you understand the grant application process, including the components of a good project summary, narrative, budget, and supplemental materials. The instructors will also discuss the review process, the response phase, and commission recommendations. You will have the opportunity to read and comment on two sample applications as part of the review process. You will also learn general tips that successful applicants have used to strengthen their applications. The workshop will also offer you the opportunity to start designing your own projects and application packages: defining project scope, devising a budget, developing a work plan, and preparing an application.

Thu 3/22 8am-noon Strategic Planning for Small Archival Programs $65
Strategic planning is an essential management tool for all archival programs. The barriers to creating and implementing a strategic plan, however, can seem insurmountable to solo and small-shop archivists. This workshop will provide an overview of the strategic planning process from the perspective of small archival program management, emphasizing relationships and  community-building both within and outside of the archival program's parent organization. The instructor will engage you with a review of various archival programs' mission statements, instruction in crafting attainable and meaningful goals, and conversation about setting priorities and sticking to them. You will have time to begin work on strategic planning documents for your own archival programs.

Also SAA's Wed 3/21 9am-5pm: Appraisal of Digital Records (SAA DAS workshop) still has some spaces.

Sold out
Thu 3/22 8am-noon: Going Rogue: Practical Hacks (and Pitfalls) for Electronic Records Processing
Thu 3/22 8am-noon: Don't Be Scared of All Those Films and Videotapes You've Been Avoiding
