RSC Chair-Elect recruitment underway

The RSC has opened the application process for the next chair of the RDA Steering Committee; applicants must either be current members of the RSC or one of its working groups. The application deadline is 29 October 2021. The goal is to both identify the Chair-Elect and obtain the RDA Board's ratification by early December.

RSC Working Groups being formed

The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is in the process of creating four new Working Groups to support the improvement of the RDA standard and invites expressions of interest to join these groups from those who have expertise.

Each Working Group will be active in 2022 and 2023 as a two-year, task-and-finish assignment. Each Working Group is intended to have international membership.
