The Ukraine SIG has basically filled all necessary positions with only a few exceptions. Our primary need now is to appoint someone as our SIG Research Coordindinator. I would welcome a volunteer at this time!
The research coordinator will be the primary SIG contact with the Research VP on SIG-sponsored research projects. The coordinator will identify project leaders for Yad Vashem and USHMM projects and help recruit volunteers to work on those projects and assist in monitoring progress. In this role, the coordinator will work with Rachel Reisman, Holocaust DB technical coordinator. The coordinator will work with the Research VP on securing permission for research projects identified by its members and acquiring donor agreements and volunteer agreements.
The openings for Kharkov Coordinator & Taurida (Crimea) Coordinator are still available & require someone to lead research groups for these gubernias.
Please volunteer by contacting me ASAP!
Many thanks, Florence Elman Ukraine SIG Coordinator haflo@shaw.ca
