The Forum of Professional Associations held its first Plenary Assembly on 17 November 2021.  All Category B member associations were invited to attend this virtual meeting.  After introductions were made, FPA president Becky Haglund Tousey gave a short presentation on the transition process from SPA to FPA and outlined the priorities of the FPA steering committee for the up-coming year. 

Film can be such a powerful way of communicating, and for the second time, SPA decided to have a Film Festival to celebrate our profession and asked the world to send us their films on archives and records management so that we all could be inspired on how to communicate even better!

The ICA Section of Professional Associations (SPA) is hosting the 2019 Film Festival on Archives and Records Management. Twelve films have been nominated in four categories. Please check the categories and finalists in the following link and read about the Film Festival in our section of the web.

Come to the SPA Film Festival Award Ceremony today to discover the winners on 24 October at 3.45pm during the Designing the Archive conference closing ceremony!
