archival associations, and other organizations about programs and projects of high interest to the archival community nationwide.  The DC2006  GreatIdeas! InfoExpo will focus on three topical areas:
-- Diversity
-- Archives Week/Month
-- Disaster planning and preparedness

The InfoExpo will run from 8:00 am to 5 pm, Thursday through Saturday, August 3-5.

The Archives Week/Month InfoExpo is being coordinated by representatives from the SAA Reference, Access, and Outreach (RAO) Section with input from regional archival associations and state historical records advisory boards (SHRABs) having active Archives Week/Month programs.  They welcome contributions from any organization that would like to display posters, photographs, promotional items, or other items from their recent Archives Week or Month activities.
