Please see the announcement below encouraging nominations for SAA's Mark A.
Greene Emerging Leader Award. Please consider nominating yourself or a
colleague, and share widely. Last I heard, we have no or very few
nominations. As a reminder, the deadline is this Saturday, February 28,
2026 and the deadline will not be extended. We are hoping for a good
pool of nominees. Thank you!
Are you in the early stages of an archives career (2-10 years of
experience) and do you demonstrate excellence in leadership? Do you have an
archives colleague that exhibits great leadership skills? Please consider
nominating them or yourself for the Society of American Archivists' Mark A.
Greene Emerging Leader Award.

Awarded for the first time in 2012 and renamed in 2017, the Mark A. Greene
Emerging Leader Award celebrates and encourages early-career archivists who
have completed archival work of broad merit, demonstrated significant
promise of leadership, performed commendable service to the archives
profession, or a combination of the above. Nominees must have more than two
years and less than ten years of professional archives experience at the
time of nomination. The award is given based on the total experience and
