currently seeking an enthusiastic and committed member to serve as
co-chair!  Please send expressions of interest to the current co-chairs,
Henry Handley (hhandley1 at udayton.edu) and Josh Zeller (Joshua.Zeller at msj.edu)
by *Friday, April 22*, and read on for more information.

Beginning in July 2022, the new co-chair will work with current co-chair,
Josh Zeller, to promote archives and special collections, as well as
develop new professional development opportunities for fellow members of
this community. The term is for 2 years, staggered with the other co-chair
term, and runs July-June. Self-nominations are welcome! Nominees must be a
member of both ALAO and SCAIG.

Duties of co-chairs include:

   - Programming the annual SCAIG workshop/conference with a planning
   committee

   meetings with fellow IG chairs and the ALAO IG coordinator

   - Submitting quarterly reports to the board
   - Submitting updates to the ALAO Newsletter
   - Updating SCAIG’s web page
   - Managing the SCAIG Google Group list


With the planned return of the annual ALAO conference to an in-person
venue, there are additional potential opportunities to contribute to the
conference with special collections and archives colleagues.

*About SCAIG*
The purpose of the Special Collections and Archives Interest Group is to
provide a vehicle with which to discuss and disseminate issues and
developments pertinent to special collections and archives in Ohio academic
libraries.

If you have questions, please contact us (Henry and Josh). We’re both happy
to discuss the expectations of co-chairs, time commitments, and personal
experiences. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who is looking for
a chance to get more involved within the special collections/archives
community, and the broader community of academic librarians.

Thanks for your consideration!

Sincerely,

Henry Handley and Josh Zeller
