Greetings Colleagues! The NDSA <https://ndsa.org/> calls for volunteers to join our Planning Committee for Digital Preservation 2022. Digital Preservation (DigiPres) is the NDSA’s annual conference - open to members and non-members alike - focused on stewardship, curation, and preservation of digital information and cultural heritage. The 2022 meeting will take place on October 12-13, 2022, in Baltimore, Maryland, just after the DLF Forum. NDSA is an affiliate of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) <https://www.clir.org/> and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) <https://www.diglib.org/>, and the DigiPres conference is held in concert with the annual DLF Forum. CLIR continues to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and after successfully pivoting to a virtual format for 2020 and 2021, we are optimistic about possibilities of a version of in-person conferencing for 2022. Planning Committee responsibilities include: - Defining a vision for the conference - Crafting and distributing a call for proposals - Reviewing and selecting proposals - Identifying a keynote speaker - Determining the conference schedule - Moderating sessions - Supporting membership through recruitment and mentorship efforts - Collaborating with the DLF Forum planning committee on community events, equity and inclusion, and sponsorship opportunities We expect to have monthly group calls from January-November, with some periods being busier than others. For instance, in the months of May-June 2022, there will be an uptick in the work during the period where we create the schedule as it requires concentrated effort. Join us by completing this form <https://forms.gle/rJgf9n5MSS2RRDTr8> by Friday, January 14th, and please share widely. We look forward to working with you! Jessica C.
