Return to NDSA:Outreach Working Group Home
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. The speakers are not limited to those working in cultural heritage organizations but should be qualified to educate and inform the NDSA membership on ways we can communicate the value of our work to key audiences.
