How to Nominate a Fellow
Each year the Committee on the Selection of SAA Fellows invites members to
nominate colleagues for selection as fellows of the Society of American Archivists.
Nominees must be individual members of SAA in good standing for the past seven
years. Other criteria on which the committee evaluates nominees are:
- appropriate academic education, and professional and technical training;
- a minimum of seven years of professional experience in any of the fields
encompassed in the archival profession;
- writing of superior quality and usefulness in advancing SAA's objectives;
and
- contributions to the profession through work in and for SAA.
The Committee on the Selection of SAA fellows includes the five most recent
past presidents of the Society and three additional members—all fellows
who are elected annually by SAA officers and Council.
The annual deadline for fellow nominations is February 28. To submit
a nomination, you may print a form (PDF or RTF) or
use the automated online form. Requests for
additional information should be directed to the Chair of
the Committee on the Selection of SAA Fellows or sent to:
Chair, Committee on the Selection of SAA Fellows
Society of American Archivists
17 North State Street, Suite 1425
Chicago, IL 60602-3315
A nomination submitted in the preceding year that did not result in the election
of a fellow may be renewed by the nominator(s) by writing to the chair by the
deadline. Enhancements or updates may be submitted if desired.
Fellows are elected by a three-quarters vote of the committee. In accordance
with SAA's constitution, the total number of fellows may not exceed five percent
of the SAA membership as of the previous annual business meeting.
