SAA Strategic Objectives–2003
The following objectives, in priority order, were adopted by
the SAA Council in May 2003.
- Develop a strategy to expand and market
membership to defined constituencies and specialty segments within
the archival community. An integral part
of this effort is development of an ongoing system to facilitate
effective communication with archivists so that SAA knows the needs and
expectations
of members and potential members.
- Coordinate with current efforts to
develop a plan for non-dues financial development utilizing both
SAA and special (c)(3)s.
- Continue to pursue a leadership role in international
archival affairs.
- Diversity. (Council members found it difficult to
rank this objective in relation to others because, although it is
a high priority, diversity
is a critical dimension of several of the other objectives
listed here. The group decided that a specific planning objective should
be
determined
based on input from the soon-to-be-appointed Committee on Diversity.)*
- Help members adapt to new technologies in ways that are relevant
to the various types and sizes of their work environments.*
- Develop distance
learning opportunities, including online/on-demand capabilities,
for continuing education.*
- Develop, maintain, and promote best practices
and standards for archival functions.*
- Find and develop new SAA leadership
for the future.
- Develop a long-range publications plan that will generate
significant revenue and educate archivists.
- Monitor
progress on guidelines for graduate archival education and continuing
education.
* These objectives received the same priority ranking.
Adopted
by Council: May 2003
