Description

In the current climate, archives are facing diminishing resources and the challenges presented by remote work. This 120-minute workshop, led by members of SAA’s committees on Public Awareness (COPA) and Public Policy (COPP) and featuring members of the Issues and Advocacy Section and the Regional Archival Associations Consortium (RAAC), explores a process-focused approach to advocacy. Attendees will participate in round-robin-style breakout sessions and walk away with personalized strategies. This advocacy structure, which can be applied to situations small and large, can help us navigate this difficult environment.
