The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and Society of American Archivists (SAA) hosted  the fourth ARL/SAA Mosaic Program Leadership Forum on July 25, 2017, in conjunction with the SAA Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The 2016–2018 Mosaic Program fellows heard panelists from a variety of contexts speak on such topics as the state of the archival profession, leadership and diversity within the sector, and strategies for involvement in professional organizations. The program concluded with a lively mock interview session facilitated by three archivists from diverse professional settings.

The Mosaic Program Leadership Forum provided opportunities for program participants to meet and network with leaders in SAA and to have important discussions about strategies to help ensure success in the archives profession. The Mosaic Program fellows were supported to attend the SAA Annual Meeting following the Leadership Forum.

The ARL/SAA Mosaic Program is funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, ARL, and SAA. More information about the program can be found on the ARL website.
