At the end of December 2025 I stepped down as editor of the Association of Professional Genealogists' monthly eNews publication, a position I held for four years, from January 2022, with my last edition being January 2026.
At the time I took on the role the publication had not been in operation for 18 months, and I had initially offered to revive it on a voluntary basis as a means to help develop communication with members in the organisation, before accepting an offer after a few months to take the role on as a paid contractor. (I should add that that had never been my intent, I had fully intended to hand it on after a few months to someone who new what they were actually doing!).
The early editions were just a few pages in length, but working with the APG team over the last four years to develop it, the publication now regularly reaches twenty pages of content, and offers a great overview of the organisation's work.
To my replacement, Allison Beard, I wish the very best of luck, and also to the wider APG team led by Michelle Leonard Cohen. The eNews is available to read at https://www.apgen.org/apg_enews.php, with the February edition now out (in which I am weirdly the main story!).
