Ushering in the Next Generation

MCIGS is looking for young (and young minded) genealogists to help the next generation of genealogists feel welcome in our society.  While we have specific needs for people with experience listed below, we would be grateful to anyone that has time and skills to donate to the society.  Please email webmaster@mcigs.com or contact us through our message form.

Social Media Contributor

Social Outreach Committee Members
If you live on social media and are familiar with sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, we could use your help in establishing and maintaining a presence on these sites.  Please contact us a webmaster<at>mcigs.org.  
Technology and social media have already transformed the genealogy.  The Social Outreach Committee reviews the technologies and platforms available and evaluates how they may be applied and leveraged in MCIGS.  If you are interested, please send an email to outreach<at>mcigs.org.
