Upcoming EventsTitle: Caucus Conversations: Moving Your Collections Date: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 Description: Moving your institution’s collections into a new storage space can be daunting at first glance. With a little forethought and a lot of organization, however, it can be not only doable, but also beneficial for overall collections management. In this inaugural Caucus Conversation, presented by MARAC’s Delaware caucus, Katheryn Lawson (Archivist-Historian, Nemours Estate) and Susan Kirk Ryan (Archivist, Catholic Diocese of Wilmington) provide two practical approaches to moving their collections, on budgets large and small. This workshop will not be recorded. Instructors: Susan Kirk Ryan is the Archivist for the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, which includes the State of Delaware and nine counties of Maryland. In addition to a BA in English, she holds a law degree from Villanova University. Her genealogy experience is also helpful in her Archives work. Questions?

Title: Conscious Communication within the LGBTQ plus Community Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024 Workshop Description: My goal is for participants to leave with a better understanding of how to communicate with the LGBTQ+ community and our allies in a clear and conscious manner while utilizing our emotional intelligence and critical thinking abilities. We might need to refine our current communication strategies and techniques in addition to creating new ones in order to facilitate open dialogue and produce conscious, ambiguity-free communication. In order to influence relationships in a positive way and implement positive changes that are effectively reinforced, we must diversify the ways in which we communicate. With the help of this webinar, participants will gain the knowledge and abilities necessary to feel comfortable participating in these challenging and thought-provoking conversations in safe spaces where they can grow, heal, and learn from each other, especially to positively preserve those crucial relationships for those of us who identify within multiple communities as people of color and LGBTQ plus. This webinar will be recorded.
