Society of American Archivists Student Chapter at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa Guidelines:
I. Mission Statement Graduate student-level student chapter of the Society of American Archivists:
II. Areas of Activity Student Chapters are encouraged to broaden their understanding of archival issues, archival education, and the archival profession by:
III. Establishing a Student Chapter
IV. Governance
V. Meetings
VI. Annual Report
VII. Communications
IX. Money for Student Chapter Activities
The use of SAA's name, logo, and auspices for publications, mailings, meetings, and other activities is available only through specific provision of Council. Student Chapters, although they are in the SAA structure, are not empowered to take action in the name of SAA or request resources except as described in IX above, without specific prior authorization of Council. This firm rule is required to protect SAA and its members from potential legal complications. X. Term of the Student Chapter The status of Student Chapters can be measured in many ways: by the number of members, by the vitality of their work, and by the content of their annual reports. A Student Chapter whose membership falls below five individual members of SAA (whether at the student membership level or otherwise) or that fails to submit an annual report will be contacted by the Council Liaison. The Liaison will then make a recommendation to Council regarding the continuation of the Student Chapter.
