Dear ArchivesSpace Member Representative:



The ArchivesSpace Governance Board is *seeking nominations to fill a
vacancy on the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council (UAC).*



Nominees should be presently employed at an ArchivesSpace member
institution in the *"Small" category* (please refer to the categorized
member list at:  http://www.archivesspace.org/members). Nominees should be
experienced with some of the activities projected for UAC and be capable of
participating on a regular basis throughout the term of service of July 1,
2016-June 30, 2018. The appointee will be eligible to have her/his
appointment renewed for an additional two-year term, i.e., July 1,
2018-June 30, 2020. Appointees are expected to devote an average of two
hours per week to UAC activities.



Only ArchivesSpace members representatives may submit a nomination.  All
other staff of ArchivesSpace member organizations may submit nominations
through their Member Representative.  *All Member Representatives are
strongly encouraged to consult with all interested colleagues within their
organization.* Self-nominations are also welcome if you represent a Small
member institution.



*Nominations must be received by 9:00pm EDT Friday, April 29, 2016.* They
may be sent to ArchivesSpace Program Manager Bradley Westbrook (
brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), who will collect nominations on behalf of the
Nominations Committee. The Nominations Committee will review all
nominations and recommend to the Governance Board an appointment for
approval.



UAC (http://www.archivesspace.org/usersadvisory) is a critical part of the
ArchivesSpace community, serving as a communication conduit between
ArchivesSpace governance groups and ArchivesSpace users. It is also the
group that implements and contributes to ArchivesSpace user services. Some
of the activities UAC is currently engaged in are:



·         liaising with national and regional archives organizations;

·         soliciting, suggesting, gathering requirements for, and
prioritizing enhancements to the ArchivesSpace application;

·         maintaining and updating user documentation, as needed, of the
ArchivesSpace application;

·         developing and providing training to users; and

·         advising the Governance Board and LYRASIS on the design and
delivery of user services, including but not limited to help desk support,
training, and presentation of documentation.



Sub-groups will be established within UAC to address the areas identified
above, as well as other activities identified subsequently. Nominees will
be appointed to UAC according to their ability to participate in and lead
some of the activities mentioned above.



To nominate someone for the ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council, please
identify the person and her/his organization in the form below, indicating
the areas of activity to which the nominee is prepared to contribute.
Return the completed form to ArchivesSpace Program Manager Bradley
Westbrook (brad.westbrook at lyrasis.org), who will collect nominations on
behalf of the Nominations Committee. Self-nominations are encouraged. All
nominations must be received 9:00pm EDT Friday, April 29.



Thank you for your participation in this important process, which is an
essential part of our identity and operations as a community-based software
organization.



Respectfully,
