The Chapter Service Award is given in recognition of outstanding service to or for a UGA chapter. The award was created in 1999, and has been given only eight times since. This year we were pleased to honor Zachary Hamilton, who has dedicated countless hours to ensuring the success of our UGA local chapters, Zachary Hamilton.
Zachary spearheaded the renewal of the Salt Lake City Chapter and grew it from a few periodic attendees to a thriving community that met monthly at the Family History Library. After serving for a year as Salt Lake City Chapter President, he was elected to the UGA Board of Directors and became co-chair of the Chapter Support Committee. Zachary designed an annual multi-chapter event which is now held every November, and has assisted the individual chapters in marketing, technical support, training, acquiring speakers, budgeting, and other activities. His service has been invaluable, especially as we have transitioned to holding chapter meetings online during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
In addition to his research experience, Zachary is a
lecturer at regional conferences across the country, including RootsTech and
has been a guest speaker for genealogy courses at Brigham Young University -
Idaho and at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
Zachary currently serves on the Board of Directors for the
Utah Genealogical Association and as Registrar for the Salt Lake Institute of
Genealogy. Zachary is a member of the Utah Genealogical Association and
Association of Professional Genealogists.
We are pleased to honor Zachary for his dedication to our
UGA chapters.
Congratulations!
