As a spot on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) opens up to the general public, you may be considering applying for the position. But as we-all readers of The E-Sylum, but particularly the bibliomaniacs among us-are well aware, it pays dividends to do your research (). In this instance, if you plan to apply, it is worthwhile to utilize the diverse offerings on the Newman Numismatic Portal in order to conduct that research and subsequently strengthen your application.

A simple NNP search of reveals materials in a variety of mediums which may improve your expertise in the organization. Learn about its official activities via Coin World and inside perspectives from E-Sylum archives. Listen to audio of former CCAC member Heidi Wastweet to understand the experience of being a member. Read official CCAC reports to glean insight into accompanying responsibilities. View dozens of images related to the group to see if the other members seem like pleasant enough people. Read biographies of past and present members to gauge whether you are the right fit. The only thing you won't find there is the application (but we at the NNP are confident in your ability to find that elsewhere on the internet).
