FGS 2012 Delegates of the Day & Conference

You will see a few posts here that wrap up the 2012 Federation of Genealogical Societies Birmingham conference. Delegates from FGS member societies are a special part of each FGS conference. From among those whose registration form indicated they were a Delegate from their society, a random choice designates a special Delegate of the Day for each of the four days. The 2012 Delegates of the Day were:

• Wednesday: Mary Choppa - The Irish Ancestral Research Association  http://www.tiara.ie
   
• Thursday: Linda Woodward Geiger – Georgia Genealogical Society  http://www.gagensociety.org
   
• Friday: Billie Fogarty – Oklahoma Genealogical Society http://www.okgensoc.org
   
• Saturday: Elissa Scalise Powell – North Hills Genealogists  http://www.NorthHillsGenealogists.org

From those four, the name of the Delegate of the Conference was drawn. That is Billie Fogarty from the Oklahoma Genealogical Society! The OGS wins a free registration to the 2013 FGS Conference in Fort Wayne. They can award the in any way they wish.
