The Oral History Association invites you to join one of our standing and/or award committees.
Committees are the backbone of many of the Association’s achievements and activities. Among the duties is advocating for oral history and the Association, developing education and public programming initiatives, fostering networking opportunities, fundraising for the Association, building on the Association and the field’s commitment to inclusion, overseeing the Association’s publications, and working through the Association to recognize great publications, teaching, programming, and applications of oral history.
Committee work can be a lot of fun and lead to expanded professional networks and lasting friendships. Serving on a committee provides opportunities for professional development and leadership. It is also an excellent way to learn about new and dynamic work in oral history. Successful committee work requires a diversity of perspectives: people with different life and professional circumstances, and people in different phases of their careers and engagements with oral history.
We encourage both longtime and newer members to apply. To indicate your interest, complete this form by September 16.
Please reach out to Committee on Committees Co-Chairs Eric Hung (eric@asianamericanmusic.org) and Carlos Lopez (clopez1313@gmail.com) or any of the committee chairs included in the committee descriptions, if you have questions.
