    Did you know that the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York, Inc. played a major role in creating the new Regional Archival Associations Consortium (RAAC)?
     
    The RAAC provides an official venue for information exchange amongst the leadership of regional archival organizations, and amongst the Regionals and the Society of American Archivists. The Group serves as a formal entity for fostering collaboration among the Regionals, and between the Regionals and SAA. It offers formal channels to coordinate efforts intra-state, interstate, and with SAA which facilitate streamlining actions, reducing costs, and increasing services to archivists around the nation. Such efforts include but are not limited to advocacy, public awareness, education, disaster planning/recovery, and grant development.
     
    Rachel Chatalbash, Past President of A.R.T., has been elected to the RAAC Steering Committee.
     
    More information on the RAAC can be found on the Group’s website: http://www2.archivists.org/groups/regional-archival-associations-consortium-raac
