-'''Envisioning a Biological Collections Action Center'''
+'''How a Biological Collections Action Center can Engage Researchers'''
+Moderators: Libby Ellwood, Gil Nelson, John Bates
 <br>The collections community is in the midst of a series of webinars, workshops, and focus groups focusing on Envisioning a Biological Collections Action Center as proposed in the recent NASEM report and authorized by the U.S. Congress in summer 2022 as part of the CHIPS and Science Act. We have conducted three webinars and one workshop to date and are very interested in including a range of voices from the biodiversity sciences community. We are bringing together U.S. collections and research professionals to consider the products and services an action center might offer to strengthen and sustain U.S. biodiversity collections. We are scheduling an in-person focus/discussion group during this year's Digital Data Conference to broaden the input into the Action Center concept. We hope you can attend.
