IGGA Connect: September Members-only Meetup

About This Meetup

IGGA members come to investigative genetic genealogy through many professions, roles, and life experiences. This month’s conversation will explore how those different backgrounds shape the way we approach IGG, what each of us may be especially well positioned to see, what we may be more likely to miss, and what helps people work and learn effectively across differences.

What to Expect

Each IGGA Connect meetup begins with about 15 minutes of member updates, news, and member-initiated topics. We’ll then move into small breakout groups for approximately 30–35 minutes, with a few conversation prompts to get things started, followed by a brief full-group wrap-up.

IGGA Connect is a monthly member conversation about how we build skill and strengthen practice in a developing field.

IGGA Connect Etiquette

IGGA Connect is a space for shared conversation and relationship-building across backgrounds and experience levels. To keep that space comfortable and mutually beneficial, please do not use breakout rooms or other Connect discussions to solicit jobs, volunteer opportunities, casework, referrals, or similar professional opportunities from fellow participants.

Questions about someone’s experience, career path, or perspective are always welcome. We simply want all attendees to be able to participate openly, without feeling that they need to provide access to opportunities.
