IGALA logo heads a white document with the text: The time has come to elect a new Executive Committee for IGALA! This is an exciting moment for the association, as we continue to grow (with membership numbers higher than ever) and look ahead to developing more international networks. The work of our community is vital in these times of renewed global oppression and marginalisation against queer and trans people, and as misogynistic discourse continues to thrive. We are currently soliciting nominations for the following 2-year-term Executive Committee positions: (1) President-Elect: This officeholder assumes the duties of the President in the event the President cannot serve, and shall succeed to the office of President at the expiration of the term as President-elect. The President shall be the presiding officer of the Association, and shall succeed to the office of Past President at the expiration of the term as President. Normally a President's term will run for two years, i.e. from one biennial IGALA Conference to the next. (2) Secretary: This officeholder shall maintain records of meetings and decisions, call and run elections, and post minutes of public meetings and results of elections to the Membership at large. The Secretary shall also maintain the membership list, in consultation with the Journal editors. (3) Communications Officer: This officer manages the mailing lists, the website, our social media properties, advises the Board about communications strategy, and ensures consistency of voice in IGALA communications. (4) Treasurer: The Treasurer has charge of the financial records of the Society. They shall submit a financial/budget report once a year, at the IGALA Executive e-meeting, and shall submit a report on the Association's activities and finances to the membership at the open Association business meeting held at each official IGALA conference. Nominate yourself before September 30th via: tinyurl.com/igalaself

Hello, Alexa! I would love to have a copy too. Many thanks.
Anyone here who has experience creating collections in DOTEbase? If so, how easy/difficult was it to learn how do to do it? I usually work with collections in Transana. If you have experience from both softwares, how do they compare, would you say?
