Communications Committee</b> is looking for new members to work on communications for the 2021 CATR/ACRT Conference. Tasks include determining communications needs with the organizing team, writing communications documents (CFPs, communiqués, logistics documents,
copy for the website), liaising with translation and accessibility experts and committees, exploring digital tools to produce, organize, and archive text efficiently. No prior experience is necessary. Last year, we had a team of
<b>four to five people</b> and the experience was very positive. We got to interact with lots of interesting people in the field, hold Zoom writing sessions together, and work in a supportive and collaborative environment. If you're interested in joining us
this year, please email CATR Communications Officer <b>Matt Jones</b> at <a href="mailto:communications.catr@gmail.com" target="_blank">communications.catr@gmail.com</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Finance and Financial Management Committee</b> is looking for <b>three people </b>to join its fundraising work for the 2022 conference. The broad work of raising this money will be divided into manageable categories so that each committee member has a clearly

many opportunities to make new connections in theatre research community of Canada. Interested CATR members can contact Treasurer
