Our hearts went out to the National Genealogical Society, APG, IGHR, GRIP, and many other organizations that have had to face the Coronavirus pandemic head-on and make vital changes in very little time over the past few months. We applaud the flexibility of presenters, faculty members, and organizations in their efforts to adapt rapidly to difficult times.
So, what about SLIG?
The safety and health of our faculty, students, committee members, and guests are of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, we are navigating slowly and carefully as we plan for 2021. While SLIG 2021 is still scheduled to be held in Salt Lake in January, modifications will be made to ensure the safety of all attending, and contingency plans created to deal with present and future unknowns. Course information will continue to be posted throughout the month of June. SLIG may look a bit different in 2021, but the quality of education will remain the same.

The Hilton has graciously agreed to push our next penalty-increase date out a month to help our students get on their feet a bit more before having to make a commitment to future SLIG education.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce the following changes:
