CO-CHAIRS

Stacie Williams

She was born and raised in Milwaukee and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, receiving a BA in journalism. She worked as a journalist for the past 10 years and lived in Chicago for much of that time. She’s very excited about working with SCoSAA and is hoping to use one of the most important journalistic skills in her arsenal–finding the best cheap food and drinks–to help bring everyone together! In her spare time she pursues her love of baconnaise, (James) Baldwin and boxing, but not necessarily in that order.

Derek Mosley

During the spring 2008 semester, Derek became an Andrew Mellon Fellow at the Atlanta University Centers Robert W. Woodruff library. While involved in this program, Derek found his deep interest in the archives field. He toured various repositories including, the State of Georgia archives, Emory University, the Atlanta History Center, and Coca Cola Corporation. Derek graduated with honors from Morehouse College in May of 2009 and chose to continue his education at Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science in Boston, MA where he is in the archive management program.

TREASURER

Sarah Funke Donovan
Sarah Funke Donovan - TreasurerSarah Funke Donovan is pursuing an M.L.S. with an Archives concentration. She grew up in beautiful, sunny Colorado and misses the Rocky Mountains. After getting undergraduate degrees in Music and Philosophy from Covenant College near Chattanooga, Tennessee, she decided to move north for a couple of years and obtain an M.A. in Music Criticism from McMaster University, located in southern Ontario. There she quickly learned that Coffee Crisps are the best-kept Canadian secret. Sarah’s ultimate goal is to put all of her music education to good use as an archivist for a music institution, but she would be quite happy to work in a field related to her other interests: women’s history, social justice and children’s literature. She would also just be quite happy to work. When she is not studying or thinking about studying, Sarah is probably making something crafty.
