Hello, The National Digital Stewardship Alliance<http://ndsa.org/> (NDSA) calls for volunteers to join our Planning Committee for Digital Preservation 2020<https://ndsa.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. It will take place on November 11th and 12th at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, MD, USA, just after the DLF Forum<https://www.diglib.org/dlf-events/>. Duties involve: * defining the vision for the event * drafting and circulating a Call For Proposals * reviewing and selecting from proposals * crafting and publicizing the schedule * finding a great keynote * serving as session moderator if possible * leading local social gatherings and/or mentorship opportunities. * collaborating with the DLF Forum planning committees, especially groups focused on community, equity and inclusion, and sponsorship, to make this conference partnership a success. We anticipate monthly group calls and regular email exchanges January-October, with some periods being busier than others. For instance, we are especially interested in folks with availability in May-June 2020 to help create the schedule as it requires concentrated effort. This is an opportunity to help shape a crucial venue for intellectual exchange, community-building, development of good 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! To volunteer, please complete this form<https://forms.gle/TtvyD3WB7MVgBzfo7> by Friday, January 10. Please share this opportunity widely, and thank you! Courtney C.
