The Florida Archivist
Vol. 27 No. 2 Spring 2011 The Florida Archivist Dear SFA Members, The SFA Board meets four times a year to discuss operations and explore ways to further our impact in the Florida archives community. The Board met via conference call in January and April to discuss the upcoming conference and methods for improving the membership database. In the past, we have used Microsoft Word and Excel to keep track of our members. Since the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and a number of state archival organizations use a cloud system to manage their membership databases, we have proposed to do the same. A committee researched costs and requirements and ultimately selected Wild Apri- cot Software as the best system to fulfill our needs. Wild Apricot will allow members to register for workshops and conferences online, update contact information and keep their addresses current. This is a win-win opportunity, and the Board looks forward to serving Michael Zaidman you better in this capacity. If you would like to assist with the database transition, feel President free to contact me. The Local Arrangements Committee for the annual conference usually changes each year. Going forward, the Board would like to maintain a core group of individuals who have experience coordinating accommodations, meeting spaces and sponsorships, with one or two locals assigned to handling onsite operations. The Committee will not only provide guidance and support to local arrangements chairs but will draft a manual for SFA con- ference coordination. Speaking of local arrangements, although we know we are heading to Tallahassee in 2013 to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are now on the lookout for hosts for the 2012 and 2014 meetings.

1 To: Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) Subject: Felon
To: Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) Subject: Felon Disenfranchisement From: Golnaz Vayghan, Policy Student, Hubert H. Humphrey Institute Date: May 24, 2010 PROBLEM: Current Felon Disenfranchisement policies greatly and disproportionately affect African American males in our country. Your state has one of the most conservative Felon Disenfranchisement policies in the nation, with permanent disenfranchisement for individuals with felony convictions. Virginia also has a large percentage of blacks per population (19.01%) in comparison to other states. Due to these two realities, the racial disparate effect of Felon Disenfranchisement policies is a very real problem in your state. In the following memo, I will attempt to analyze whether the current strict Felon Disenfranchisement laws of your state have any connection to the identity of the state as a former Confederate state with a deep history of racially discriminatory laws. I will attempt to analyze whether former Confederate states that used racially motivated Disenfranchisement policies, literacy tests and poll taxes to exclude African Americans from the voting process in the past have the toughest Felon Disenfranchisement laws and highest disenfranchisement rates today. After analyzing this question through a historical, legal, and empirical lens and based on the conclusions reached or correlations found, I will then explore if and why it would be in the states best to reform Virginia’s current Felon Disenfranchisement policy. DEFINITION Felon Disenfranchisement is defined as the practice of prohibiting individuals from voting based on the fact that they have been convicted of a felony crime. 1 First, it is imperative that we define the different categories of criminal offenders that are being targeted by state disenfranchisement laws because the policies vary depending on what stage of the criminal process an offender is in.
