This
is a friendly reminder that the dues for your organization’s 2014 membership in
the Federation of Genealogists are due by January 1, 2014. Membership is open
to genealogical societies, historical societies, family associations, libraries
and archives, educational institutions, and genealogical vendors. We don’t
accept individual memberships. You can learn all about the wide range of
membership benefits and the dues rates at http://www.fgs.org/cpage.php?pt=65.
Please
check with your organization’s treasurer and officers to make sure they’ve
already paid the 2014 dues. New memberships are welcome too! If the 2014 dues
haven’t yet been paid, FGS offers two ways of payment. We accept VISA,
MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards through our secure
website. We also accept checks. Both of these options are available at http://www.fgs.org/cpage.php?pt=65.
FGS
provides an excellent set of membership benefits, including access to money
saving partner benefits, online publicity for your society in Society Hall and in the FGS Calendar of Events,
free reviews of your society’s bylaws, newsletter, and website, a wiki filled
with great advice for growing and strengthening your society, and much more.
And the Records Preservation and Access
Committee (RPAC) helps insure that your voice is represented in maintaining
open access to genealogical records. We’re planning additional benefits to be
announced in 2014. You don’t want to miss out on any of the services and benefits
offered by FGS!
We’ll
be looking forward to hearing from you soon and having your organization as a
member of the FGS Family.
