It was just over a month ago when I introduced you to the Virtual Genealogical Society (you can read that here).
Now those behind the VGS are planning for 2019 already. They’re wanting to get a webinar schedule up, so they have put the call out for proposals. If webinar presenting is something you’d like to do read on, or if it’s something you’d like to watch make sure you’ve signed up as a member, and keep an eye out for future updates from the VGS team.
The Virtual Genealogical Society invites engaging and dynamic speakers to submit diverse proposals in all areas of genealogy for our 2019 monthly programs that are broadcast live via GoToWebinar.
Presenters are paid USD$100 for providing a 50-minute webinar followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period, and an accompanying handout. Recorded webinars and handouts are stored behind the VGS member wall for 6 months following the live broadcast.
Presenters may submit a proposal for up to 4 webinars that are relevant to a worldwide audience in a single PDF via email to info@virtualgensoc.com with the following information:
1. Broadcast day preference (Sunday at 1pm Eastern, Tuesday at 8pm Eastern, or Saturday at 11am
Eastern)
2. Webinar title
3. Webinar description
4. Webinar outline
5. Audience level (beginning, intermediate or advanced genealogists)
