The Society of California Archivists (SCA) Education Committee promotes archival education and the professional development of archivists throughout the state. The EdCom develops and presents archival education workshops for the SCA membership and colleagues on a variety of topics of concern to the profession. They  are held each fall, in both northern and southern California. In the spring, the EdCom works with the Program Committee of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to plan the pre-conference workshop as well as holding another workshop in the region opposite to the AGM.
