CI Grad Participates in Archives Leadership Institute

CI graduate student, Steven Hausfeld, is one of 25 archivists selected to participate in the Second Archives Leadership Institute in July at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The program is designed for archivists who aspire to become leaders in their organizations. The week-long event will feature presentations by dynamic people in the archival field and relevant leaders outside the profession.

Steven has over ten years experience in corporate and government archiving. He is currently a corporate archivist for the History & Archives Center at Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, OH, and the only corporate archivist selected forparticipation in the Institute.

The goal of the Institute is to determine the leadership needs of current archivists and to prepare the participants so they can affect change and influence policy. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission provided a grant that will cover much of the cost of the institute.
