CTDA Advisory Committee
To ensure that the CTDA services meet community needs the CTDA convenes an advisory committee to provide strategic advice on CTDA operations and services. The CTDA will convene ad hoc committees or working groups made up of community members as necessary. The CTDA Advisory Committee is made up of colleagues from the cultural heritage, digital preservation, and academic communities in Connecticut and represents a wide variety of talents, knowledge, and perspectives.
Membership
Members represent a diverse group of experts in their respective areas, and will always include representatives from the library, archives, museum, and historical society communities as well as relevant state agencies and/or independent experts and are invited to serve by invitation of the Director of the Digital Preservation Repository Program at UConn.
The committee will have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 members. In the case of a member dropping out a new member will be appointed as soon as is practical to a new three-year term effective from the previous July.
Operations
The committee meets biannually (or as determined by the group) to share experiences and provide advice on CTDA services and programs. The committee is chaired by the CTDA Director who develops the meeting agenda in consultation with CTDA staff and the membership and facilitates the meetings. Notes will be recorded and posted on the CTDA’s web site.
