Hi everyone! The National Digital Stewardship Alliance<http://ndsa.org/> calls for volunteers from NDSA member organizations<http://ndsa.diglib.org/members-list/> to join the Planning Committee for Digital Preservation 2017<http://ndsa.diglib.org/meetings/>. Digital Preservation is the NDSA’s major meeting and conference—open to members and non-members alike—focusing on digital stewardship and preservation, data curation, and related issues. This year, it will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 25-26, 2017 after the DLF Forum<https://www.diglib.org/forums/2017forum/>. Logistical arrangements will be handled by the Digital Library Federation, so that this committee can focus more fully on the program for #digipres17<https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=%23digipres17&src=typd>. Duties involve defining the vision for the event, drafting and circulating a CFP, coordinating the review and selection of proposals, crafting and publicizing the schedule, and collaborating with the DLF Forum planning committee to make this conference partnership a success. We anticipate monthly group calls and regular email exchanges April-October. This is an opportunity to help shape a crucial venue for intellectual exchange, community-building, development of best practices, and national-level agenda-setting in the field of digital preservation—as well as to set the tone and direction for future NDSA events. Join us! Volunteers from NDSA member organizations<http://ndsa.diglib.org/members-list/> are asked to complete this form<https://goo.gl/forms/1EfT8jrK9fDa8H0u2> by Monday, March 6. All best, Katherine -- Katherine S Kim Program Associate Digital Library Federation (DLF) at CLIR diglib.org<http://diglib.org/> | clir.org<http://clir.org/> | @CLIRDLF<https://twitter.com/CLIRDLF>
