6 AIC NEWS , May 2012 AIC NEWS
• FAIC NEWS goal of linking CCN members through a discussion list as a top priority. Immediate needs discussed during the meeting included: collecting and posting annotated links to preferred resources for collection care practitioners; creating tools for support of collec- tion professionals, including job descriptions and salary surveys; and developing preventive care advocacy materials. Planning begun during this meeting has already led to two joint sessions to be held at the June 11–16, 2012 annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC). (For more information see the SPNHC 2012 website: http://peabody. yale.edu/collections/spnhc2012/home). Many future partnerships are anticipated. The items described above are but a portion of the initial work that will begin to realize the Standing Charge given to the CCN by the AIC Board. The CCN organizing committee (Rachael Arenstein, Julia Brennan, Rebecca Fifield, Gretchen Guidess, Catharine Hawks, Wendy Jessup, Karen Pavelka, Patricia Silence, and Joelle Wickens) has appointed a slate of officers to facilitate project planning. The committee adopted both abbreviated and staggered terms to expedite and promote future diversity of the CCN leadership among professional groups that will compose the CCN. The officers are: The CCN will bring together preservation organizations, professionals, and information resources to support the critical work of collection care. We consider preservation as an umbrella concept that covers both preventive care and conservation treat- ment. The CCN wishes to foster dynamic exchange among collaborators engaged in preventive care, grow the body of preventive care knowledge, and disseminate this knowledge to support the work of all collection care practitioners, conservators, and allied professions.
