SLIG Announces New Director

We are pleased to announce that Amberly Beck will take the reins as the new director of the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG), effective February 1, 2022.

Amberly joined the SLIG committee in January 2021 to fill a short-term assignment, and quickly won the hearts of students and faculty alike with her efficient management of the tasks at hand and polished demeanor. When the Assistant to the Director position came open, she was a natural fit. 

The appointment to director was made in October by Kelly Summers, then-president of the Utah Genealogical Association (UGA), and ratified by the UGA Board of Directors, preparatory to the retirement of Peg A. Ivanyo, who has served in that position for the past seven years.


Amberly is a professional genealogist, speaker, and blogger. Her love for genealogy began as a child pouring over family photos with her grandmother and became a serious research endeavor over 20 years ago. She specializes in French research, is partway through her accreditation journey with ICAPGen, and is working on her BCG portfolio.

Amberly is the mother of three incredible boys, holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and lives in Utah with her family.

Speaking of her appointment, Amberly said: “I am honored and humbled by the trust Peg and UGA have placed in me to serve SLIG as the next director. SLIG is a vital part of the genealogy community and I look forward to building on the legacy created by Peg, and all of those who came before her.” 

We feel confident that SLIG’s future is in good hands. Welcome, Amberly!
