A SAA online meeting is a great way to meet up with friends, family, and colleagues. It is also a great way to make sure you are always connected and ready to help out. But you need to be prepared for the legal and ethical consequences of using this type of communication.
Trusted servant
The trusty servant is a familiar group member who chairs meetings and is a member of the SAA service structure. This person also serves as a meeting secretary. Before a meeting begins, he or she will introduce the 12-Steps of Recovery and give an overview of the meeting’s structure. He or she will also provide guidelines for participation.

Trusted servants are ultimately responsible for completing tasks assigned to them. In some cases, they may be required to leave the room if the group feels they are unable to complete their duties.
The meeting structure may vary depending on the type of meeting and its duration. Some meetings will include a pre-recorded reading or a speaker, followed by a discussion of the material. Meetings are usually 60 to 90 minutes long.
Three stages
The good ol’ days of the SAA are long gone, but you don’t have to go without. If you’ve got a computer, a phone, and a lot of spare time, you can attend SAA meetings around the world. All you need is a high-speed internet connection and some patience. Aside from the occasional meeting cancellation, you’re sure to find a bunch of like-minded people.
There are three main types of meetings: in person, online, and hybrid. Each type is designed to meet the needs of different types of people. To make things easier, you’ll be able to browse a list of upcoming meetings on a single page. You can also check out the SAA Technology Committee’s Google Docs spreadsheet for more details.
For those of you in the Washington State area, the Puyallup Green Book SAA meeting will be meeting in person starting on September 14th. They will meet at 7pm PST every Wednesday. Until that date, they will meet in the library of the First Presbyterian Church of Puyallup, located at 412 W Pioneer Ave.
Hybrid meetings
While most SAA meetings are still held online, a few have begun the transition to hybrid models. These meetings meld the benefits of both a physical meeting with an online conference. You will have access to both the speaker and attendees, and you won’t have to travel to attend. In other words, you can get the lion’s share of the experience with the best possible price tag.
Some of these online hybrid meetings are open to the general public, while others are reserved for SAA members in the know. The latter are typically held in smaller groups with a maximum of four participants. For example, the Charlotte SAA is holding an online step working workshop. This will be the first such online meeting in North Carolina.
Inappropriate messaging
One of the biggest buzzes at the SAA Annual Meeting was the announcement of an online forum for the organization. The online forum is a great way for SAA members to communicate with colleagues and friends from around the world. Although the online forum is still in its infancy, its users are some of the most prolific and affable members the association has to offer. Creating a forum for SAA members to exchange ideas is the most effective way to help the organization succeed in its mission of serving the archival community.
One of the best features of the online forum is the plethora of opportunities to glean information from archival experts. Not only does the online forum help promote networking and collaboration, but it also serves as an invaluable source of information on upcoming events and activities. With the number of meetings in the organization growing, it is essential for members to keep tabs on the latest and greatest in archival knowledge. In addition to the online forum, there are also a host of other resources available to members. For example, the SAA website is a treasure trove of information on upcoming meetings.
Legal consequences
The legal consequences of online meetings are not clear. It is important to make sure that you are not at risk of any harassment. If you are, please contact SAA Executive Director, or law enforcement immediately.
The 34th Annual International SAA Convention will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 27 through May 30, 2022. The Society of American Archivists (SAA) is committed to providing a harassment-free environment. In addition, SAA has an Equal Opportunity/Non-Discrimination Policy. All members are expected to uphold the Code of Ethics of the Society.
