Now that the FGS 2013 Conference website
is live, we'll be taking time here on the blog to take a tour of the
website and let you know more about the conference coming to Fort Wayne,
Indiana, August 21-24.
We're stopping at the Volunteers page today. The Volunteers section of the website is available through the link at the bottom of the conference website.
This page gives you details about the types of volunteer jobs that are available at FGS 2013 and how to become a volunteer. FGS will reimburse volunteers a portion of their registration fee after the conference according to the amount of time they volunteer during the conference.
FGS 2013 Volunteer Co-Chair, Marge Graham describes the fun side of volunteering at the conference:
We celebrate holidays and create wonderful memories. Consider the FGS 2013 Conference in Fort Wayne as your “genealogy holiday” and create another unique, wonderful memory by volunteering!
Volunteering is an excellent learning experience. The various volunteer opportunities give us a chance to expand our expertise or challenge us to develop new skills. Volunteering with a friend makes the job at hand a fun experience and sharing ideas with a friend is another great way to learn. It is a wonderful way to meet new people who share your interests, make new friends, reconnect with pals, and you might even meet a cousin who shares your genealogy interests! Volunteering is also a way to give back to the genealogy community. It is an opportunity to show our hospitality to visitors, attendees, vendors, speakers, etc. and to make this a conference to remember and a place they want to return to visit and explore.
