Dear Friends, July 1, 2011 began the new term for our IAGenWeb Leadership Team. State Coordinator is now Ralph Leonard and the Assistant State Coordinator is Stephen D. Williams. Sharon Becker and I are thećWelcome Hostesses. We have three beautiful Orphan Counties that need coordinators: LINN http://iagenweb.org/linn/ * MARION http://iagenweb.org/marion/ * and TAMA http://iagenweb.org/tama/ . It is not necessary to live in Iowa to be a county coordinator. The main duties of a coordinator include answering email requests for research assistance, providing newly transcribed information, and maintaining the site, mostly through minimizing broken links. We'd prefer a coordinator have at least basic knowledge of how to create web pages, either by writing their own code or using web design software, but this is not required to apply. Read more about the position at http://iagenweb.org/state/primer.htm . If you would like to adopt one of these counties, please drop us a line at welcome_to_iagenweb@iagenweb.org We would love hearing from you! Lynn McCleary Sharon R.
