[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Christine Di Bella's new title

[Laurie Arp]

Greetings,

We are very pleased to announce that Christine Di Bella's new title is Senior Program Manager effective November 15.



In her nine years with ArchivesSpace and under Christine's stewardship, the ArchivesSpace application has become an essential tool for thousands of collecting institutions around the world and the ArchivesSpace program has grown to nearly 500 active member institutions. In close collaboration with the other members of the program team and the community, she has overseen the expansion of the functionality of the application to address all of the major archival functions and the community engagement programming has grown significantly more responsive to users. The program has reached out to new audiences and created impactful partnership programs, such as the ArchivesSpace Diversity Partnership and the Consortium Provider affiliation, and strengthened its Educational Membership Program to better support educators and those entering the profession. Christine's thoughtful management and care in negotiating the needs of its many stakeholders and keeping forward momentum through challenging times has made ArchivesSpace an exemplar and object of admiration in the wider cultural heritage open-source community.


Going forward, Christine will take an expanded role in working directly with the ArchivesSpace Governance Board and overseeing the technical team, including the Technical Lead. This senior level designation recognizes both the complexity and scale of the program she manages and her depth of expertise in doing so.



Please join me in congratulating Christine on her well-deserved promotion.

Best wishes,


Laurie Gemmill Arp
Senior Director, Community Supported Technologies and Hosting Services
