Dear Colleagues, The time has come again for the changing of the guard. At our next annual business meeting, my time as Michigan Archival Association president will come to an end. It has been a great honor being your president for the last three years. Because of the early departure of our previous president, I have been with you longer than most. So it is heartfelt when I say I will miss serving the membership of MAA. As I look back on those years, one theme that has stood out is the board’s desire to update the way our organization operates and communicates. As the profession changes, so must MAA change in order to continue bringing you relevant opportunities. The establishment of the website blog, a listserv, the digital Open Entry option, the reworking of our governing documents, and the development of the annual Fall Workshop are just a few of the projects that were completed or have been improved over the last few years. In addition, the organization has continued to bring you the traditional opportunities to present or attend conference sessions, network with colleagues (virtually & in person), write articles for our newsletter, and support young archivists through scholarships. Finally, I am proud to say that we have responded to the needs of the membership and looked to the changes in the profession to guide us as we improve and update the organization. As I transition off the board, I look forward to participating in and contributing to MAA in new ways. I know that the current economic climate sometimes makes it difficult to participate in every annual meeting and workshop. However, the board of MAA is dedicated to bringing you affordable and relevant professional, educational, and networking experiences to boost our collective know-how. So, I urge you to continue to stay involved to the furthest extent you are able, and to join me in supporting our organization as we move into the future. Thank you for the opportunity you have given me to make a difference.
