**New Forum on ARCS Website**
We are happy to announce a newly updated feature on our website, the much
more user friendly Forum! https://www.arcsinfo.org/forum
Available to ARCS members only, the forum facilitates knowledge and
document sharing between ARCS members. Post and tag content, ask and answer
questions, and share documents. The more you participate, the more valuable
this resource will become!
It is organized into sections: Everything, Q&A, Events, Documents, and
Update. You can post to any of these sections by clicking on one of the
links located on the bottom right side the screen.
When posting to the forum please tag your post by the topic ("loan
agreements", "conservation", "couriers", etc.) so that members can search
the forum by topic. You can also sign up to receive daily or weekly
updates on forum activity by clicking on "Get email updates" also located
on the right-hand side of the screen.

**#ARCSChat Returns September 4th**
Join us at 8 PM ET on Twitter for a discussion on "The Collections Manager
as Thought Leader". Do we collections managers lack the vision to become
the leaders of our institutions or did someone forget to ask us? We will
examine what it takes to climb the museum ladder and consider if indeed we
want to climb it at all. Use the #ARCSChat hashtag to participate and
follow along in what promises to be a very interesting conversation.
**Meet Your Board Member**
This week we would like to introduce you to Board President Danielle Hall
Bennett. Danielle is Head of Collections Management at the Freer Gallery
of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery where she manages all aspects of
collections management, registration, and the archives. Previously she
worked at the Walters Art Museum in the Collections Management/Registrars
department. Danielle became President of ARCS in 2017, and she has served
as chair of the ARCS Workshop and Electronic Professional Development
Committees. Danielle joined the Connecting to Collections Care Webinar
Committee in 2015, and currently serves as chair.
As ARCS President, Danielle is excited to be leading ARCS through its first
strategic planning process and continuing to strengthen ARCS as an
