Dear Prospective and Renewing KCAA Members,
Welcome! Your KCAA membership not only affords you the valuable fellowship and support of colleagues who share your interest in archives and the archival profession, but also brings you the following benefits:
A subscription to The Dusty Shelf, KCAA’s official newsletter which lists KCAA events, provides news from area institutions, provides area job openings, and more.
Membership in the KCAA listserv, a fast and convenient means by which to receive KCAA announcements, transmit and receive news of archival job openings, and share professionally-related news with other listserv members.
A copy of the KCAA Membership Directory, a published roster of archival colleagues and member institutions within the region and a convenient resource for contact information.
Invitations to KCAA-sponsored workshops, symposia, and other special events, including discounted member rates for KCAA’s fee-based events and for purchase of KCAA publications such as Keeping Your Past: A Basic Guide to Preserving Your Family Papers and Photographs.
Opportunities for financial aid from KCAA’s Scholarship Fund, designed to assist KCAA members who have negligible access to institutional funds for professional development purposes, thereby defraying member costs of attending professionally-related educational conferences, workshops, symposia, and institutes.
If you have questions about your membership status, please contact membership chair Janeal Cabbage (phone (913) 768-4873, or e-mail JCabbage@emporia.edu. For an array of information regarding KCAA and its upcoming events, visit the KCAA website at http://www.umkc.edu/KCAA/.
We in KCAA encourage your active participation to assure that KCAA remains a welcoming and supportive professional organization for the archival community. To thrive as an organization and meet the needs of its members and the community at large, KCAA needs your involvement. Attend its meetings, volunteer your service on one of its various committees, and let us know how KCAA can serve you better. We appreciate your membership and hope to see you at KCAA’s next meeting!
Sincerely,
Patricia Schurkamp
