The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) was founded in 1976 and represents the members of hundreds of genealogical societies. FGS links the genealogical community by helping genealogical societies strengthen and grow through resources available online, FGS Forum magazine (filled with articles pertaining to society management and genealogical news), and Society Strategy Series papers, covering topics about effectively operating a genealogical society. FGS also links the genealogical community through its annual conference -- four days of excellent lectures, including one full day devoted to society management topics.

I look forward to meeting the geneabloggers that I haven't met before - Jennifer, Linda, Carolyn, and Ginger, and enjoying the company of Amy, Myrt, Gena, Dick and Schelly. I also look forward to meeting many Genea-Musings readers at the Conference, and enjoying the presentations by the experts at the conference.
Amazingly, I've never been an "Official blogger" onsite at a conference previously. I was one for RootsTech in Februsary 2011, but could not attend the conference due to previous commitments. So this will be a new experience for me. Linda and I will tour the Great Lakes area after the conference.
