The SAA Annual Conference is right around the corner. This year we have a few of our RMS members involved with the presentations, posters, and events at the SAA Annual Conference, from August 15th – 17th. Committee Chair, Jessika Drmacich will present a hybrid session titled, “Preserving the Past, Securing the Future: Email Archiving as a Pillar of Research Infrastructure” on Thursday, August 16th from 3:15 pm until 4:30 pm. Autumn Oakey will have a poster, “Small Staff Big Goals: Resource-Friendly Records Management at UW-Whitewater” on display during the Poster Sessions on Thursday from 5:30 – 6:00 pm and Friday from 12:30 pm to 1 pm.
