ARCHIVES / Chicago 2007
Attention First-Timers and New Members!
We understand that being a new member of an organization
or of the profession, or attending a large conference for
the first time, can be a daunting experience. That’s why
we provide a variety of services and programs that can help
you survive—and thrive!—at ARCHIVES / CHICAGO 2007
and beyond….
New Member / First-Timer Orientation
Begin your day on Thursday by joining SAA President Elizabeth
Adkins, President-Elect Mark Greene, Council members, and the
SAA Membership Committee for a casual conversation about
how to make the most of your time at the conference. A light
continental breakfast will be served. (Thursday, 7:00 – 8:00 am)
Career Center
Wondering about your career options? Visit the Career Center
to learn about current employment vacancies and opportunities
for postgraduate study, to meet with prospective employers, or
to consult with a career advisor. (Thursday and Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm) If you’re a job seeker or potential employer, take this
opportunity to place your job announcement or resume on file
for others to see at the meeting. For more information, contact
