AAGRA Congratulates Samantha John on her Director Appointments

AAGRA congratulates member Samantha John, MAAGRA, on her appointments as Director of Australian Studies and Director of Irish Studies at the International Institute of Genealogical Studies.

With almost 45 years of genealogical experience, Samantha brings a wealth of knowledge to both roles.

As Director of Australian Studies, Samantha is undertaking a significant refresh of the Institute’s Professional Certificate course, which was originally developed around 15 years ago. The course is being comprehensively updated and expanded to reflect developments in genealogical research and education.

In her role as Director of Irish Studies, Samantha provides student support and mentoring, including facilitating sessions and discussions for enrolled students.

These appointments recognise Samantha’s extensive experience and her ongoing contribution to genealogical education and the development of future researchers.

AAGRA congratulates Samantha on these appointments and wishes her every success in both roles.
