RDA Steering Committee (RSC)

At the RSC Meeting in November 2024, the committee confirmed that the temporary co-opted post of Education and Orientation Officer (2022-2023) should be counted as separate from the permanent post, and therefore end of December 2026 would be the end of the first term of the permanent post. A second term would be possible thereafter.

RSC Chair Renate Behrens and Director of ALA Digital Reference James Hennelly are very pleased to share that RSC Secretary Anne Welsh has agreed to stay on in post after the end of her initial term in December this year. 

RSC Chair Renate Behrens is delighted that Jessica Grzegorski has accepted the offer of a second term as RDA Examples Editor and Chair of the Examples Working Group. 

The Minutes of the April RSC Meeting (RSC/Minutes/508-520) are available now from this website or from the institutional repository (with stable URI).
