Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat Assessment.

Identifying our society's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats is an important part of our Strategic Planning process. Your input will help focus our discussions as we develop our future plans.

As you work through this survey please consider the Mission of our organization:

The Dallas Genealogical Society is non-profit tax-exempt Section 501(c)(3) organization that provides resources and services of interest to family history researchers in (or with an interest in) Dallas and North Texas. We partner with the Genealogy & History Division of the Dallas Public Library to provide services and educational activities that cultivate and nurture an interest in Family History Research.

We are committed to education, service, preservation, and keeping abreast of new developments in genealogical resources, technology, and information providers while pursuing these primary goals:

Educate by creating, fostering, and maintaining interest in Genealogy and Family History.
Assist and support the Genealogy & History Division of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in Dallas, Texas.
Collect, preserve, copy, and index information relating to Dallas County and its early history.
