APG's Fifth Annual APG Professional Management Conference will be held
Wednesday, August 7, 2002, in Ontario, California. Elizabeth A. Wright
will present "Personal History is Not Genealogy"

Elizabeth Wright's presentation will demonstrate how genealogists and
personal historians can work together in perfect partnership. She will
address, among other things:

How both genealogists and personal historians strive to save us all from
what Isabel Allende describes as, "the terrible curse of oblivion";

The similarities and differences in the work of these practitioners;

Why the work of both is essential to creating the family portraits which
will be the legacy for future generations;

The need for high performance standards in the work we do;

How working together benefits both genealogists and personal historians
by providing greater business opportunities for both.

Elizabeth's experience (20+ years) as a personal historian is supported
by an M.A. in Anthropology and professional training in oral history
methods. As the owner of History In Progress, she is an entrepreneur in
this field. Elizabeth is a past Vice President and a current board
member of the Association of Personal Historians, on the Steering
Committee of the Bay Area Oral Historians, a participant on the
Nominating Committee of the Southwest Oral History Associ-ation, and an
organizer of and presenter at the Annual Morrissey Oral History Workshop
in San Francisco, CA.
