AHA Hosts the Executive Director of the Canadian Historical Association (September 24, 2012)
By Vanessa Varin
The AHA recently had the pleasure of hosting Michel Duquet, Executive Director of the Canadian Historical Association (CHA).

They offer their own unique experiences and perspectives on how to best support and serve their members, and remind us that historians around the world face similar challenges regarding both academic and non-academic employment.
