New professionals bring passion, enthusiasm, and often a critical eye to all aspects of the archival profession ranging from their own education and training to how theory is put into practice. They bring new ideas, challenge established norms, and question best practice. Creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for those new to the profession is vital to the ongoing success of our field. This ensures its evolution and provides supportive opportunities for new professionals to share their ideas.
