All candidates are required to respond to the following questions related to
their prospective offices:

VICE PRESIDENT/PRESIDENT-ELECT - In addition to the administrative
responsibilities of leading the Society, every President has the opportunity
to advance programs and  projects which he or she believes are vital to the
development of the archival profession and to ensure the continued viability
of the Society. Which current activities need continued support and what
areas will you  propose for new projects?

COUNCIL - Officers and council members are responsible for setting the
long-range  vision of the Society and how it serves its members  How might
the profession change over the next ten years, and what does the Society
need to do to prepare its members for those changes?

NOMINATING COMMITTEE - What qualities--both personal and professional--do
you believe candidates must bring to their jobs to ensure that the Society
meets the  needs of its members and strengthens the profession?

These questions were formulated by this year's Nominating Committee: Scott
Cline, Kathleen Marquis, Brenda Billips Square, and Council members Richard
Pearce-Moses and Becky Haglund Tousey.

Candidates' responses to the questions posed, along with biographical
information, will appear in the ballot. An eligible member of SAA may also
