By all measures, the National Genealogical Society’s 2017 Family History Conference was a great success! Over 2,400 attendees learned new skills and broadened their knowledge in classes presented by some of the most well-respected lecturers in the genealogy profession. None of this would have been possible without the efforts of over 140 volunteers.
In addition to the months of planning and preparation carried out by Conference Chair Mark Lowe, Local Host Committee Chair Victoria Young, and members of the Local Host Committee, a hard-working corps of volunteers carried out their daily duties with aplomb. They faced challenges like A/V issues and crowded classrooms, helped attendees find their way to “hidden” and relocated classrooms, and provided guidance on the route to the Exhibit Hall. They handled registration, stuffed conference bags, staffed the Exhibit Hall, decorated tables for the Pig Pickin’, and kept the coffee pot going in the Volunteer Room. They staffed the NCGS booth in the Exhibit Hall and their efforts resulted in over 150 new and renewed NCGS memberships!
Thank you, volunteers, for all you did to make this an exceptional conference!
