[SOA] call for nominations for SOA elections

[Amy Rohmiller]

Hello SOA Members:



The SOA Nominating Committee would like to announce a call for nominations
for

   -

   Vice President/President Elect,
   -

   Treasurer, and
   -

   Member of Council.


Self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged, as are peer nominations. We
welcome and encourage nominations of new professionals and/or those seeking
to be involved in a professional organization for the first time. All
positions are for two year terms of office, with the exception of the
VP/President/Past President cycle which is one year in each position (3
year commitment total).



If elected, you must be a current SOA member in good standing by the time
your term starts and be willing and able to attend monthly council meetings
and business activities (virtually or in-person).



The election will be held during the SOA Annual Business Meeting held
during the SOA Spring Meeting on May 17, 2024. Candidates will be required
to write a response to a question to be printed in the *Ohio Archivist*
prior to the election.


SOA is committed to furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the
organization and within the archival profession. In 2023, SOA stood up a
permanent Justice, Equity, Diversity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (JEDAI)
Committee dedicated to this work. The work of this committee is the work of
SOA. Current charges are to:

   -

   Identify and develop sustainable ways to incorporate JEDAI into the work
   of SOA Council and its committees.
   -

   Identify and develop ways SOA can make use of its platform(s) to
   responsibly give voice to historically underrepresented communities.
   -

   Identify and share resources to educate Council and membership on JEDAI
   – with an emphasis on applications to archival and information work.
   -

   Identify and develop ways to continually engage the membership about the
   JEDAI Committee

More details about responsibilities and terms can be located in the SOA
bylaws, located here:

I would also be happy to answer any questions about the positions. Please
respond to me with any nominations by Friday, January 12, 2024.



Happy Thanksgiving!

Amy
