Early-Bird Deadline for APG Professional Management Conference

I received the following press release from the Association of Professional Genealogists and think this is an excellent educational opportunity. There are seven presentations included in the program, and the conference is conveniently scheduled between the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and the RootsTech conference.
