Passcode: 705609
The March SGS Membership meeting is the time that the Board presents the slate of nominees for Board positions in preparation for the May election. We expect to have some open positions, so remember that nominations may be made by the membership at any time, including at this meeting.
In addition, there are two major interconnected projects underway we will discuss. First, we are working to reduce the physical size of our library, part of which is a plan to move large parts of it online to facilitate access by SGS members and the genealogy community at large. Second, as mentioned at earlier meetings, our lease runs out this year and we have been looking for a new location. We will be providing information about both of these topics and asking for feedback from the membership. |
