The AAO’s Professional Development Committee presents
Safe Spaces for LGBTQ2S+ Records Professionals
The safe space virtual sessions are safe spaces set aside and reserved for archives workers and records managers from historically excluded groups in our profession to connect with one another in an informal, participant-driven environment. Participants will also have the opportunity to share feedback on the sessions and help shape their future format.
These sessions are open to students, emerging, and established professionals, as well as those working in volunteer and activist roles. Note that this space is only open to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirited, and sexual or gender minorities identifying (LGBTQ2S+) archives workers and records managers. Registrants who do not identify as LGBTQ2S+ will be asked to leave or removed from the meeting.
Date: Monday June 22nd, 12:00pm-1:00 pm EDT
Location: Zoom (Link will be sent when registered)
Recording: These sessions will not be recorded.
Registration: FREE (AAO members, student members, and non-members)
