General Meeting InformationMARAC holds semi-annual meetings in the spring and fall, offering members opportunities to discuss archival concerns and obtain new training through breakout sessions, workshops, and guest speakers. Tours and receptions highlight cultural institutions and historical organizations in the immediate area. Conferences rotate among member states, ensuring members have a meeting nearby every few years. Typically, conferences begin on a Thursday with workshops, tours, and a volunteer project. Often, a New Member meet and greet reception takes place on Thursday night. The meeting continues on Friday and Saturday with plenary and luncheon talks, breakout sessions, social events, and the semi-annual business meeting. The reception on Friday night is a great way to network and catch up with colleagues and friends. Topics for conferences are drawn from ideas and needs expressed in membership surveys and breakout sessions are driven by member proposals. Any member is eligible to participate in the planning and execution of a meeting.
