and Rita Vega-Acevedo, VP Programs and Education
What
will it take for genealogy groups to survive aging members and the digital age?
The panel’s focus
will be on the future of genealogy groups by promoting changes, such as
recruiting younger members and incorporating social media. Cynthia Liu will discuss how the
digital age has changed the way we communicate and how social media will drive
recruitment and retention in the 21st century. Can social media entice the next
generation to preserve their family legacy? Can or will genealogy organizations
implement changes quickly enough?
This meeting requires audience
participation. Hope
to see you on August 1st.
