All in-person conference attendees this year will receive this tote bag featuring a design created by Asahi Nagata<http://vra.memberclicks.net/message2/link/af6720e4-954c-43ca-b4f1-0407455b9d0c/16>, a Japanese freelance illustrator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With experience in vintage image restoration and a deep love for 1940s to 1960s commercial art and traditional printing, Asahi's work features vibrant bold color palettes and a retro elegance in texture.

The photographic slide-inspired design is an homage to both our host city of Minneapolis, and how much VRA has grown. What began as an informal group of slide librarians is now an international organization comprised of digital asset managers, librarians, curators, archivists, educators, museum professionals, art historians, copyright specialists, and more.



Annual Conference Mentorship Program

Each year our association has many members who are attending their first or second conference. Even with user-friendly conference programs a newcomer may have questions or need advice. The Annual Conference Mentor Program<http://vra.memberclicks.net/message2/link/af6720e4-954c-43ca-b4f1-0407455b9d0c/17> matches a seasoned conference-attendee (mentor) with such a first-timer. This is a fun and collegial program that has had much success and positive feedback. Both mentors and mentees have found the program greatly enhances their conference experience. If you're interested in signing up to be a Mentor or Mentee for this year's conference, you may request a conference mentor or volunteer as a mentor when you register for the conference, or contact the Membership Committee’s Mentor Coordinator<http://vra.memberclicks.net/message2/link/af6720e4-954c-43ca-b4f1-0407455b9d0c/18>.
