Dear All, (with apologies to non-members of the Society). Further to my earlier posting about information available on the Society of Archivists' website, I am posting with another update. The draft strategic plan is available to members and comments are invited from Vice Chairman Peter Emmerson. It has been pointed out that it would be helpful for members to be given some additional information about the planning process and background rather than the draft on its own. Peter has drawn up an introduction to the plan that will help place it in context and may help to inform comments. Please go to www.archives.org.uk and then log in as a member to view both documents. Peter's contact details are available on the website. In addition, notification of the Society's AGM and nominations for Council will be going out shortly to all members. Several council members are standing down this year so there are a number of vacancies. This is a very exciting time to join Council with opportunities to contribute to the strategic plan, diversity, financial and training isues amongst others. Meetings take place four times a year in London (aften follwed by drinks in a local hostelry). If you are interested but would like to know more please contact me via e-mail or telephone (01604 762129). Jenny Jenny Moran Honorary Secretary Society of Archivists
