Roundtables as Incubators for Leadership: The Legacy of the Congressional Papers Roundtable (Session 309)

The Congressional Papers Roundtable (CPR) has pursued an active agenda for the past twenty-five years. It also has produced many SAA leaders. The community, advocacy, and productivity found in roundtables make them ideal breeding grounds for leadership. What roles have roundtables played in archivists' development and within SAA? How will social networking affect those roles? How can we continue to generate new ideas and opportunities? Panelists examined these issues, reflected on the future, and emphasized lessons learned.
