A fun part of #RootsTech for me is time in person w/ people from NGS member organizations. I loved having an org member meet-up in our booth for them to hang out & connect. Many thanks to David Rencher for his words of support & thanks to those who were able to come. Let's meet again at #NGS2025GEN!

I appreciate the people trying to keep track of what is happening and save what they can. Records (data) preservation and access matters. History matters.
