What is the SLIG Academy for Professionals?

Program
This new program will follow SLIG 2019, beginning on Monday, January 21st, and will focus on professional development topics not offered at SLIG or elsewhere in a week-long, in-depth format.
As professionals, we spend a lot of time taking advantage of educational opportunities to learn more about methodology and/or record sources, but it is also essential that we spend time on other aspects of our professional development.

These courses are designed to round out the professional and to cover topics in-depth over the course of a week where currently they may only be covered in an hour-long lecture or webinar. From writing client reports to public speaking to understanding and utilizing DNA in your client research, these essential topics will assist the professional in ensuring that they have the essential knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to run a successful business.

Schedule
The program will open with a special event to commemorate the life and legacy of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and end by Friday noon. Two meals are included with registration: Monday brunch and Thursday evening dinner.

Courses
Five courses are being offered:

• The Art of Writing Client Reports, Angela Packer McGhie, CG (waiting list)
• You're Invited: Public Speaking from Concept to Delivery, D. Joshua Taylor, MA, MLS
• Building and Nurturing a Successful Genealogy Business, Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG
• DNA and the 21st-Century Professional, Angie Bush, MS
