MEET THE CANDIDATES FOR REPRESENTATIVE-AT-LARGE
Our Representatives-at-Large are voting members on the Executive Board, liaisons with NEA standing committees, and serve on a variety of award and planning committees. They represent the general membership.
This year we have four candidates for one of the four Rep-at-Large positions (LISTED ALPHABETICALLY). Each candidate answered the question: What do you see as the major challenges for archivists in New England and what do you see as NEA’s role in addressing that challenge, over the next three years?
