Attention members
President Needed ASAP for our Society to continue ..... Not only is It OK to self-nominate; in fact, it is required in today’s hybrid world. Email Jessica Taylor (Chair, Nominating Committee) with questions or to volunteer. You all know what your interests and talents are! We have a great set of programs planned for 2024 (see the list on the right). It would be a damn shame for it all to go away! We have candidates for 1st Vice President-Programs and Secretary. Board positions need a commitment to spend two years helping to guide SDGS. As President, you would have the opportunity to lead a team of 6 other board members and many volunteers to further our mission. You and the board can put your own stamp on SDGS. Currently, the board meets approx. 9 times/year via Zoom. Board members each have a specific portfolio. See the bylaws for specifics (links below) . A big benefit to serving on the board is getting to know a group of enthusiastic genealogy buffs. We work together, not in silos, and enjoy our interactions. If you attend SDGS meetings and classes and benefit from our programming, please look into your hearts and seriously consider giving back by stepping up to lead SDGS for the next two years. Email Jessica Taylor (Chair, Nominating Committee) with questions or to volunteer.
