I received the following press release from FGS this morning. With the 2015 FGS Conference right around the corner, they are looking for people to help spread the word. The FGS Ambassador program was started in 2013 for the conference in Ft. Wayne. Bloggers, social media gurus, writers, and the like are invited to become ambassadors (benefits are listed below). You do not have to have a blog or plan to attend the conference to participate. I participated in 2013, but with my chaotic life over the last several months, I could not commit to 2014; I do however plan to get in the mix again for 2015. Will you join me?
Full details are in the press release below.
