Kentucky Council on Archives Spring meeting in Louisville on May 14-15 has been cancelled due to the current global health crisis from COVID-19. The good news is that we hope to move the meeting topic, “Choose Your Own Adventure,” and the pre-conference OpenRefine workshop to our Fall 2020 meeting date. This will be contingent on several factors including our host institutions and the availability of our confirmed presenters.
Elections and Membership Cycle
Long standing members will know that the Spring meeting is an important time for KCA; our membership cycle starts anew, we elect new board members, and the board reports its fiscal standings to membership. The KCA Board is diligently working to organize a virtual election and business meeting, as board elections still need to take place in May. If you are a current KCA member, your membership will expire on April 30. In order to vote in elections (to be held the first week of May) and serve on the board, your membership must be in good standing. If you renew or become a new member between now and April 30, it will be applied to the next membership cycle that begins May 1. In the coming weeks, we will send another email with additional election and membership information.
Thanks goes out to all the Board members for their hard work and dedication these past few months planning and subsequently un-planning the meeting. Gratitude also extends to our scheduled presenters for their willingness to share their expertise with our community. And a thank you to our generous hosts, the Muhammad Ali Center and Bellarmine University. You will hear from us shortly regarding our slate of board nominees, membership renewal, and virtual election.
