We are pleased to announce that we have finalized the agenda for the 2020 Fall Caucus meeting--"Archival Work in a Time of Crisis"--to be held via Zoom on Friday, October 30, 2020, and registration is now open! 

Register at the following link: http://forms.gle/WEBQVnPF1mcUMWnk7

Registration is FREE and open to all CIMA members, students, and non-member colleagues. However, to ensure a secure meeting, you are REQUIRED to register and provide your e-mail. Information about how to join the virtual event will be delivered to the e-mail address provided. 

The meeting is planned to be held from 10am-noon MDT / 9am-11am PDT. We have some great presentations planned, along with a brief update and discussion on CIMA-related issues. We will then open up the remainder of the meeting to anyone who would like to share briefly (5 min. max.) and informally something they have done/learned/changed, etc. in their institution during the pandemic. You can also come with questions to pose to fellow CIMA members to learn how others are dealing with particularly difficult situations. Or, just come and listen and reconnect (virtually) with the rest of the CIMA community! 

And, while registration is free, please consider making a donation of any amount to the CIMA scholarship fund. Donations can be made online at this website.

We look forward to seeing you all there on October 30!
