The Program Committee for the MAC Annual Meeting, which will be held May 2-4 in Des Moines, Iowa, is extending the call for session proposals!

The deadline for submitting proposals that explore the theme “Sowing Seeds of Change” is now Monday, August 28 at 5pm CST. 

Drawing on Iowa’s agricultural traditions and historic prairie ecosystem, we encourage you to consider areas of growth, cultivation, and restoration in our profession. As our professional landscape continues to evolve and change, how do we adapt and implement new approaches, processes, and technologies? When do we go back to our roots, and when do we plant for the future? What are some ways we have nurtured our collections, patrons, and ourselves as archivists and allied professionals?

The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals and members of underrepresented groups. Membership in MAC is not required.
