Family History Consultants
My parents are Directors of the Family History Center in Alpine, Utah. They sometimes notify me of genealogy events or church related things. They recently told me that all the Family History Consultants for wards/branches are supposed to sign up to a Mailing List for information and lessons on the new FamilySearch.
There is a good explanation of this and how to do it at Renee's Genealogy Blog. Renee's blog is a good one to follow if you are interested in updates with the "new FamilySearch" or LDS related topics. I think she should be in charge of the new website once it's finally up. :)
