Navigator Program
The Women Archivists Roundtable is pleased to again sponsor the Navigator Program, which matches
experienced SAA members with new members or first-time
conference attendees. We have lots of first-time attendees
who are eager for help negotiating the meeting and
comparatively few seasoned archivists willing to help them.
If you are going to the annual meeting this month, please
consider volunteering to be a navigator!
For those of you unfamiliar with the program, it is
basically an informal short-term mentorship program. By
signing up to be a navigator, you are agreeing to contact
the person assigned to you, make plans to meet up with them
at the meeting, and be available to answer their questions
about the meeting.
If you are interested in being a navigator (or would like
more information), please contact
Karen Walton Morse.
Thanks in advance for your willingness to help!
