Members of the Association of Professional Genealogists have an opportunity tonight, Wednesday, 18 March, to discuss BCG certification with BCG past president Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL. Elissa explains, “With only twenty-five APG members allowed to be in attendance on a first-come, first-logged-in basis, we will have an intimate chat about certification, how to prepare, and what it takes to be successful.” This is a great opportunity to learn about certification and ask questions of someone who has been Board-certified for twenty years. Access information is available on the Members page of the APG website.

18 March 2015, 9:00 p.m. (EST/EDT): “Certification: Process, Requirements, and Readiness” by Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL

The meeting room will open fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled starting time and holds a maximum of twenty-five attendees. Access will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is meant to be a discussion on a particular topic, not a lecture or a webinar. It is through the give and take of these discussions that the best learning experiences will occur. Please come prepared with your questions.
