Volunteer Information Specialists

Linda D. Van Niewaal, Co-Chairman
Vicki Harris, Co-Chairman

If you are assisting your chapter or your state or national societies with processing or communicating information to other members, then you are a Volunteer Information Specialist. Use of computer technology is the necessary skill for this committee. You may share your talents through a newsletter, through email updates to chapter members, or by volunteering for the national society working on Genealogy Preservation or the Genealogical Records Committee.

As you consider your volunteer efforts, consider volunteering for DAR special projects. Some of you have worked on the Descendants Project and some of you have worked on identifying Supporting Documentation, in addition, you might consider the Patriot Records Project. As many of you know, the Genealogical Records Committee loves to have volunteers indexing records.  These are projects you can assist with from the comfort of your home at any hour of the day.

     If you desire changes in your chapter website, please contact this chairman. Organize your list of changes/updates and send them in one email, please. If multiple emails are sent, some of the requests may be missed. Substantive changes must be approved by the State Regent, updates will be made as swiftly as possible. Each chapter should designate a VIS Chairman or Web Site Chairman. Please send that information to both the State Regent and the VIS Chairman.
