<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I can add my recommendation for Salt Lake Institute of
Genealogy. The opportunities for virtual education have exploded in the last few
years with varying study groups meeting from all around the country. Nothing can
compare, however, to the experience of being immersed in advanced genealogical
education. The classes are in-depth and challenging, and the opportunities for
networking with like-minded individuals is fantastic. I have made invaluable
colleague and mentoring relationships through my attendance at
SLIG.</FONT></DIV>

discussed, which I have heard is fantastic, the Professional Paths course is
being offered by Kory Meyerink again this year. The full course listings are

<DIV><B>Subject:</B> [APG Public List] Attending SLIG</DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I heartily agree with Elissa's reminder and suggestion about
attending SLIG. I have attended SLIG for many of the past 10 years, and I
have always had a quality education experience, especially the AG/CG course last
year, which provided an excellent clarification of the differences and
similarities between the two, as well as an earlier "Becoming a Professional"
course with Kory Meyerink, and several Problem Solving courses.
<BR><BR>And if you never attended SLIG, it is an excellent opportunity to
strengthen skills and knowledge with week-long (or more) access to the Family
History Library. I think a number of Boston U alumni and ProGen members
will be there. I'll be in Dr. Jones' course this year.<BR><BR>-- <BR><SPAN
