Talking California Genealogical Society Initiatives on Blog Talk Radio

I was honored to be a guest on the Federation of Genealogical Societies' new blog radio show, My Society on Saturday, April 29, 2011. Host (and far-flung member) Thomas MacEntee invited me to discuss Genealogy Society Initiatives That Work!

During the first forty-five minutes of the hour long show, Thomas and I talked about the California Genealogical Society blog, eNews and our internet presence across social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and American Towns. We also discussed these initiatives:

• Society "Welcome Mat"
• First Free Saturday Intro class
• Family History Month classes
• Don't hide your newsletter behind the website membership wall
• Collaboration 

The shows are archived so you can listen to them anytime. My Society airs every Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, 1:00 p.m. Central, 12:00 p.m. Mountain and 11:00 a.m. Pacific time.

Let me know what you think!
