Good afternoon list, the Institutional Development Committee has been working on a special event and you’re invited!
On the heels of the Archives Association of Ontario's (AAO’s) successful conference in London, the Institutional Development Committee would like to invite all AAO members to attend the Institutional Issues Forum on October 22, 2015 (right before the AAO Leadership Meeting).
The focus of the Forum will be a discussion of two items, for which your input is required to ensure the success of the community: (1) the creation of a provincial acquisitions strategy, which is becoming a necessary reality as we look to the future, and (2) exploring how we can take the world by storm during Archives Awareness Week 2016!
Please see the attached agenda.
If you are interested in joining us for the day, the event details are as follows:
October 22, 2015 from 10:00 to 4:00; coffee at 9:30.
Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd., Toronto
Coffee and light refreshments will be provided. A variety of restaurants are available on the York University Campus for lunch.
There is no cost to attend the forum but we do ask that you register. Maximum number of participants is 45.

Thanks,
Sarah
