Now that the term of the current President of the Forum of National Archivists (FAN), Jeff James, is coming to an end, a call for nominations has been opened to elect a new President. In close collaboration with the members of the FAN Steering Committee, the FAN President sets the strategic direction of the Forum and ensures its good governance. 
The proper performance of the duties of FAN President requires a significant commitment of personal time and draws on the support of the President’s employer institution. The role is voluntary, and no remuneration is offered, nor can be accepted, for the performance of the functions of the office.
