SAA, ACRA, and SHA History Matters Campaign [Career Pathways]
With the change in the federal administration the archaeological community should expect impacts to the business of cultural resource management as well as potential changes to higher education. The Government Affairs Committee works to respond to Congress when potential legislation that affects our work or federal budgets is either positive or negative. The GAC cannot do this alone. Further, we want our members to be prepared for potential state legislation that may have direct impacts on your work. One of the best ways to accomplish the education of elected officials is with site visits and constituent meetings in their local offices. The goal of this webinar will be to educate SAA members on advocacy, specifically how to initiate, prepare for, carry out, and follow up on such meetings. The creation of long-term relationships with representatives in government will greatly advantage efforts to ensure that the physical remnants of our shared cultural past—and the knowledge they contain.
