Seeking Board Nominations
In October 2019, the MGS membership will vote for new members to serve on the MGS Board of Directors whose terms will then begin on January 1, 2020.
We Need You: If you are enthusiastic about Genealogy and Family History and want to get involved in helping the MGS continue to prosper and grow, then the MGS is looking for you!
The MGS needs individuals who are team players, love a challenge and who want to help a great organization become even better. We are asking you to consider running for the MGS Board of Directors or nominate someone you believe would be a good board member and leader.
The next several years are going to be exciting as MGS continues to have a positive impact by offering genealogy education, research opportunities, events, and support. The Board of Directors plays a central role in the important work of helping the MGS prepare for
, and embrace, the future.
This is your opportunity to help guide MGS to its full potential.
