SAA Government Records Section Announcement - Call for Nominations



The Government Records Section (GRS) of the Society of American Archivists is meeting on Thursday, August 31, 2000, from 8:00 am til 10:00 am, during the Annual Meeting of the SAA in Denver, Colorado.

Among the events scheduled by the Section is the nomination and election of new officers, as well as the approval of the new Section by-laws promulgated by the current Chair of the Section, Ms. Lynn O. Gamma.

Nominations are needed for a Federal Government Representative to replace Ms. Gamma (Air Force Historical Research Agency), rotating off the board; for a State Government Representative to replace Ms. Prudence Backman (New York State Archives), rotating off the board; and for a Local Government Representative to replace Ms. Kaye Lanning Minchew (Troup County Archives), rotating off the board.

In addition, the proposed By-Laws state that, "Both a chair and a vice chair shall be elected in the first election following the approval of the by-laws."  As "Acting" Vice Chair, I intend to run for the position of Chair of the GRS.  I do encourage interested parties, however, to run for this position, if they so desire. 

Only Members of the Section may vote.  As the Slate has not yet been put together, there will be no absentee voting.

If you are interested in running for any of the listed positions, please contact Ms. Lynn Gamma at lynn.gamma@maxwell.af.mil, or phone her at 334-953-2395.  She has agreed to run the elections as her final act as Chair of the Government Records Section.  

Many Thanks to Lynn, and to Ms. Brenda Pietrowski, who served as the Section's newsletter editor, for their hard work this year!

Regards,

Jim Cassedy
