Marketing & Communications Team
This is not a typical volunteer opportunity.
We are building a small, collaborative team to support foundational marketing and communications work at the Investigative Genetic Genealogy Association (IGGA).
This work will help define how a professional community communicates, engages, and grows.
IGGA exists to support a rapidly evolving field through education, collaboration, and professional development.
How it communicates will shape how it is understood and how the community engages with it.
