RootsTech gets more exciting every year. This year a family history center director’s track is being offered. Priesthood leaders and directors are encouraged to participate in RootsTech sessions held on Friday, February 13th in Salt Lake City. FamilySearch managers and employees will share their insights and experiences working with successful family history centers across the world. You will hear firsthand how other directors are helping members discover family names and then prepare those ancestors’ names for temple ordinances. You’ll also see examples of families learning, sharing and teaching family history. The Director’s Track offers the four following presentations:
- The Family History Center of the Future—Speakers: Suzanne Curley, Joe Everett

We will also write articles in future newsletters highlighting the topics covered at RootsTech. If you can come to Salt Lake in February, we’d love to see you! Make RootsTech a time to renew and to get inspiration on how to help those you serve to fulfill their responsibility as members to seek out and perform sacred temple ordinances for their ancestors.
