Yesterday I received an email from the Publicity Chair, Tina Lyons, for the 2013 Conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies.  All genealogy bloggers, societies, writers, and editors are encouraged to become an Ambassador for the conference, which will be held August 21-24 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  An Ambassador is someone who will help promote the FGS 2013 Conference through blogging and social media.

If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador, take a look at the press release below.  Then all you need to do is sign up (by filling out a very short form), grab the Ambassador badge, and start promoting the conference!
