The NDSA Outreach Working facilities information-sharing in support of its Statement of Purpose.

The Outreach WG is undertaking a speaker series that will provide information and guidance that will assist NDSA members in preparing and sharing digital preservation information resources and the value of digital stewardship.

This is a place for NDSA members to suggest speakers for upcoming NDSA Outreach conference calls and webinars.
