"How Disease, Disaster, and Hard Times Changes the Lives of our Ancestors" by Teri Flack

A 6th generation Texan, Teri E. Flack has been researching her family history for over 25 years. She's been the AGS Treasurer since 2008. She serves the Texas State Genealogical Society as chair of the Records Preservation and Access Committee (RPAC), and she is the Texas state liaison to the national RPAC. She served on the Board of the Federation of Genealogical Societies and presented two sessions at last year’s FGS national conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. She completed the Advanced Methodology Course at the National Institute for Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University and the National Institute for Genealogical Research at the National Archives in Washington, DC. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.

Teri first retired in May, 2007 after working for the state of Texas for 26 years – most recently as Senior Advisor to the Commissioner of Higher Education and Deputy Commissioner of Higher Education. Her former boss persuaded her to return to the Coordinating Board during the 2009 legislative session to help out with the appropriations process, so she spent most of her time last spring at the state capital. Previously, she was Director of Governmental Relations and Public Information for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and Chief Investigator for the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. Teri holds a B. S. in Education with History major, an MBA, and a graduate Paralegal Certificate from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University-San Marcos).

All monthly meetings are held at the Highland Park Baptist Church, 5206 Balcones Drive, in Austin.
