WSGS Local Speakers Directory



The Local Speakers Directory is an ongoing project of the Washington State Genealogical Society Education Committee. This list is specifically designed to help your society find speakers from within Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia.

If your society is seeking a speaker of national prominence for a seminar or conference please refer to our National Speakers page which provides links to web pages that list national speakers. These links should provide an excellent speaker for any genealogical topic.

We want to encourage speakers from throughout the state to add their names to our database. For your convenience, you can use this Speakers Directory Sign Up Form. Either print it out and mail it, or use its format and send an e-mail to Bonnie Jean MacDonald to add your name if you lecture yourself, or to suggest someone you are aware of who might be interested in being added to our directory.

Last of all, we have included some suggestions for making your speaker feel welcome. Hopefully by following these guildelines, you will have a successful program and your speaker will want to return and speak again!

We would like to thank all of those who have chosen to put their names on the list. The greater the participation, the more valuable the tool becomes!

Your WSGS Education Committee
