The following candidates will be on SNCA members' ballots this spring for open Executive Board positions. Voting will take place during the Business Meeting at this year's Annual Meeting at UNC Charlotte.

President candidate (1 year position): Alston Cobourn

I first became involved with SNCA as an MLIS student in 2008. Since then, I've served as Vice President (2025-2026), Membership Committee chair (2009-2012), Nominating Committee member (2020, 2023-2025), Archives Month Committee member (2020-2021), and  Conference Programming Committee member (2024). SNCA has helped me forge valuable relationships with other archivists across the state and grow in my career. I believe my previous service work in SNCA and professional connections will be an asset in this role. 

Vice President candidate (1 year position): Anna Peitzman

Anna Peitzman is the Digital Access Branch Head at the State Archives of North Carolina. Her team is responsible for the archive's digital collections and web and social media presence. Anna has worked for digital accessibility in government and academic archives since 2017 and looks forward to contributing to the continued success of the archival profession in North Carolina.

Conference Planning Chair (2 year position): Greta Browning, Appalachian State University

I have been a SNCA member for over twenty years, and I have served on the Programming Committee (2025-2026), Member-at-Large (2007-2008), Local Arrangements Committee chair when SNCA was held at Appalachian State University (2008), an editor for J-SNCA (2007-2009), Nominating Committee (2000) and editor of The North Carolina Archivist newsletter (1999-2001). I attended my first SNCA meeting as a North Carolina State University Public History graduate student in 1999, and since then, I have considered SNCA my professional home. Notably, it has been the conferences which have regularly enriched my professional knowledge, allowed me to build friendships and exchange practices with colleagues, and refreshed my excitement for my work. I am delighted to be able to have the opportunity to serve in the new position of Conference Planning Chair, and I will endeavor to uphold SNCA’s tradition of stellar conferences to the best of my ability.

Engagement Chair (2 year position): Jennifer Daugherty, East Carolina University

My name is Jennifer Daugherty and I'm the Head of the North Carolina Collection at East Carolina University. I've been a SNCA member for 15 years and have served on various committees.

I look forward to working with SNCA members and the board to communicate about the organization and to share announcements from our membership.

Publications Chair (2 year position): Randall Bowman, Elon University

For the last two years, I have served as Membership Chair; this office has enabled me to learn a lot about SNCA and the Executive Board, as well as to meet a lot of wonderful members of this great organization! Now I am ready to use the knowledge that I have gained to continue serving, this time as Publications Chair. From 2019-2022 I served on the Publications Committee, contributing to the publication of the Journal for the Society of North Carolina Archivists. I am looking forward to seeing this journal continue being published online, as well as keeping members up to date with SNCA activities and happenings through its social media platforms.

Member-at-Large, Students and New Professionals (2 year position): Mollie Frazier, East Carolina University

I currently serve as the Member at Large for New Professionals and Student Members for the Society of North Carolina Archivists and work in special collections and archives at East Carolina University. Through my work with SNCA, I have focused on supporting student and early career archivists through outreach, communication, and professional engagement opportunities. In the coming term, I would like to strengthen communication and outreach efforts with students and new professionals through increased promotion of SNCA opportunities, events, scholarships, and professional development resources across social media, LIS programs, and professional network as well as expanding early career-focused programming on topics such as networking, interviewing, career preparation, and entering the profession. I look forward to continuing my role this year.
