4.  We will be putting together an SAA information sheet for incoming
students.  It will give brief descriptions of the purpose and
activities of national SAA and our
Wright State chapter.  It will also
provide the address of our website and will inform students about the
cost benefit of becoming a national member of SAA to take advantage of
book discounts for the Intro to Archives course.  It will also list
fees.  The backside will be the registration form.

    We need to speak to Dr. Haas about including this info sheet in
the new student folders that are sent out by the History Department. 
We will also send the information out to incoming students via email
before fall quarter begins.  Additional sheets will be available in
the History Department.
   
    Tiffany volunteered to put the information sheet together.

are welcome.

6.   The
Dayton Chapter of ARMA, the professional records management
association, meets monthly to discuss issues pertinent to records
management and archives.  The meetings are open to students and are a
great way to meet practicing professionals in the area.  The meetings
cost $12 for students, to cover the price of the meals which are
provided at every meeting.      

7.  The 2007 ARMA Cincinnati Spring Seminar is scheduled for Tuesday,
May 8 at The Phoenix in
Cincinnati.  The topic is “Establishing and
Managing Successful Records Management Programs.” The featured speaker
