We all choose to support organizations for personal reasons. Making use of your individual skills or learning what your strengths are may be your goal. Perhaps you need to increase your knowledge, your interpersonal experience in meeting and working with new people or for some education enhancement for future job opportunities. As a charitable organization our operations are similar to some businesses but have the advantage of developing or adjusting our processes to work for us. As we specialize in genealogy, it may help if you have an interest in history or family history too.
