Today we are engaging in a little housekeeping to keep you
abreast of this week’s happenings in our Society Management offerings. You’ll
see a few changes at FGS.org as our older webinars move behind the member
wall. This week sees two events for your
pleasure: a new webinar and a #genchat. We hope you’ll make time in your busy
schedules to join us as much as you can.
July Webinar
Our moderator for the July Webinar, “Wordpress for
Societies: No Blogging Required,” suffered technical difficulties during the
original airing that left most attendees disappointed. This webinar has been
re-recorded and is now available at http://www.fgs.org/cpage.php?pt=30. It will be available until September 10th
after which it will be accessible in the Member’s Only section. All previously
archived webinar content has been moved to Member's Only at this time.
August Webinar
The 2015 Webinar Series continues with Paula Stuart-Warren presenting “Your Society Can’t
Afford to Do A Seminar? Here’s How!” Wednesday August 22nd at 8pm
EDT. Paula is a staple on the lecture circuit presenting at conferences and
institutes alike. She’ll bring her years of experience in society management
positions and conference chairing to bear on a question important to societies
of all sizes. I hope you’ll join us.
Please
register for Your Society Can’t Afford to Do A Seminar? Here’s How! on Aug 12,
2015 8:00 PM EDT at:
After
registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about
joining the webinar.
#genchat Friday
Did
you miss July’s Society Focus #genchat on Creative Programming? Head over to
twitter and search the hashtag. The community was quite vocal in what they’d
like to see out of their societies in terms of programming options.
This Friday,
August 14, Jen Baldwin will be encouraging genealogists to “Get Local” to
advance their research. FGS will be there too sharing how local societies are
essential to a genealogist’s success. No matter how far technology takes us, it
will never fully take the place of societies. Join us to share with the
community how your societies contributes to genealogical research through
preservation, education and camaraderie.

We'll be back to blogging educational content for those who can't join our virtual events this month with posts on "Micro-volunteering" and "How to Market Your Society."
