Are you interested in contributing to the Archives Association of Ontario? The AAO Professional Development Committee (PDC) is currently recruiting five new members. Seasoned and emerging professionals, who are members of the AAO, are encouraged to join and serve a two year term.

 PDC supports the archival community by providing basic and continuing education pertaining to information management. The committee seeks to:

• Determine educational needs within the archival community and in conjunction with the AAO Advisor and the Archeion Coordinator.

• Engage in active communication with the AAO chapters and committees in order to support them in the development of workshops.

• Provide educational workshops at the annual AAO conference.

• Develop and deliver educational curricula, in the form of both in-person workshops and through the use of new technologies.

Members must attend approximately 6 teleconference meetings per year and contribute to all committee discussions and activities.
