A Century of Broadcasting: Preservation and Renewal

Conference Dates: Oct 22-24, 2020

Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.

The Executive Board is happy to announce that we have assembled a great group of people to organize our conference through the Planning and Programme Committees. The Programme Committee will report to the Planning Committee. Zane Grosa, IASA VP of Conferences, will oversee all conference matters. The Programme Committee will be co-chaired by Pio Pellizzari and Tre Berney. I trust that these committees will afford and create a forward-thinking conference that aligns with the spirit of inclusion. This is what IASA looks like.

Dear IASA Community,

The IASA Executive Board is seeking someone to serve as our treasurer. Tommy Sjöberg, our current treasurer, has indicated his desire to step down. The Executive Board is grateful for Tommy’s hard work and oversight of IASA’s finances for the past many years.

The position of Treasurer requires knowledge and interest of finances and budgeting. This is a voluntary position that will join the Executive Board for Tommy Sjöberg’s remaining term until the election cycle of 2020. Duties include:

IASA would like to thank our very first conference sponsor at the Gold Level, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Not only are they our conference hosts, but they are providing generous funding support that will help us provide foundational financial, technical, and educational resources to the sound and audiovisual archival community.
