Dear ArchivesSpace Users,
The deadline to apply to participate in the ArchivesSpace Member Match program
is today, Friday, May 20th.
The Member Match program is an initiative to engage the ArchivesSpace
membership community, created and organized by the Member Engagement sub-team
of the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, with support from the ArchivesSpace
Community Engagement Coordinator. The program is intended to be a resource and
venue for peer-to-peer support between ArchivesSpace members. For one,
year-long term, participants will be matched with a member with whom they can
receive and offer professional insight, advice, and camaraderie. The program
will also offer participants the opportunity to engage in exclusive events and
enlightening discussions about ArchivesSpace and its active user community.
Thanks to valuable feedback from the first cohort of Member Match Participants,
we’ve implemented the following updates to the program:
* Monthly Listserv Discussion Topics
* Each month, a member of the Member Engagement sub-team will reach out
to the Member Match listserv to spur discussion and encourage continued
engagement between matches.
* Quarterly Member Match Meet-Ups
* These will be opportunities for large group socializing as well as the
potential for dedicated time to spend with matches in breakout rooms.
* Option to participate in small group matches of 3 people
