Volunteers are the lifeblood of non-profit organizations, and the Texas State Genealogical Society is no exception. TxSGS is like a small business, and a small business requires teams of people to get things done.
Elected directors and leaders fulfill major roles including membership, education, development, treasurer, secretary, and district representatives. TxSGS also has standing committees that contribute to ongoing programs such as Heritage Certificates, the annual conference, virtual conferences/webinars, marketing/publicity, Stirpes, and more. At times throughout the year, each of these areas has projects that may require additional volunteer support.
Being part of one of these committees or volunteering to help during the annual conference, institute, virtual conference, or other event is a great way to become involved in TxSGS and “pay it forward” to the genealogical community.
Think about what you have to offer—expertise, skills, talents, and interests.
- Do you enjoy editing or proofreading, creating brochures or newsletters, working with social media?
- Are you the “meet and greet” type who thrives on event planning, publicity, and hospitality?
- Maybe you just want to help stuff bags before the annual conference or serve as a room monitor for a lecture or two.
Whatever your skill, consider volunteering with TxSGS.
TxSGS elects officers each year at its Annual Business Meeting following our Fall Conference. Based on our Bylaws, half of the Board is elected each year.
See a list of positions and job descriptions for more information on what positions are currently available or will be voted on this year. We encourage you to consider submitting your name for consideration.
Committee chairs and members are appointed throughout the year as the need arises. Learn more about these opportunities at TxSGS Committees.
