Two of the Commission's staff members are active in several national organizations' committees for 1997.Joyce Ray, Acting Program Director, has been appointed to represent the Society of American Archivists (SAA) as its liaison to the Association of Information and Image Management (AIIM) C20 Committee on Libraries and Archives. The C20 Committee serves as the formal liaison between the library and archival user and producer communities and AIIM. It is responsible for identifying, advocating for and developing or revising all standards relating to library and archival micrographics and electronic imaging that are within the scope of AIIM standards activities. In the past, the C20 Committee has focused primarily on issues involving standards for
microfilming. More recently, it has shifted its focus to electronic imaging. Dr. Ray also serves as the NARA representative to the AIIM C20 Committee.
Laurie A. Baty, one of the Commission's Program Officers, is serving as the 1996-97 Chair of SAA's Committee on the Status of Women. The committee, established in the 1970s, is charged with monitoring the status of women in the archival profession, encouraging the participation of women in all phases of SAA business and activities as well as in the archival profession as a whole, and promoting an awareness of the significance of women's history and the sources that support it. Ms. Baty has been a member of the committee since 1995.
