Do you #genchat? FGS does and we are proud to join
host Jen Baldwin for her “Focus on Societies” series of chats beginning this
month. As our member societies continue to expand their social media efforts to
reach an increasingly tech savvy audience, collaborative events like #genchat
offer high visibility opportunities for community engagement. Baldwin herself
says it best:
“#genchat really is an ideal concept
for societies to gain attention and followers on Twitter. The conversational
tone of the chats allows for free-flowing input and gives organizations a
chance to showcase their collections and member benefits.”
Reach a dedicated group of highly
engaged genealogists as they discuss what their home societies do well or where
they need to improve. Topics are
specifically designed to give societies a chance to share their success,
inspire others and learn from the community:
July 31st: Society Focus: Creative Programming
Is your society offering unique
programming with great response? Want to learn from societies that are?
August 14th: Need research details? Get local!
Let the genealogy community know
how your society can support their research goals. And maybe discover a need
for services you could be offering.
September 11th: Society Focus: Technology
Share
with the community how your society is successfully using tech to improve
society management and support your members.

Are you an FGS member society doing great thing but not on
Twitter? Let us know at education@fgs.org and we’ll make sure to give your society a shout out while we
are there.
