Recruitment Underway for RSC Chair Elect

The RSC has opened the recruitment process for the next chair of the RDA Steering Committee. As set out in RSC/Operations/1:

The current RSC Chair will work with the RDA Board Chair to send out a call for applications to current RSC members and working group chairs. Applications will be assessed by the current RSC Chair, the RDA Board Chair, and the Director of ALA Digital Reference. The decision will be ratified by the RDA Board."

The goal is to both identify the Chair Elect and obtain the RDA Board's ratification before the end of this calendar year.

The Chair Elect will serve for approximately thirteen months and transition to the role of Chair on 1 January 2027. The four year term as Chair will conclude at the end of 2030, with a final year of service as Past Chair in 2031.

If you have any questions, please direct them to current RSC Chair, Renate Behrens (pictured), in the first instance.
