How you can help TUG plan for 2011...

By Mark Buchner

Big Plans for 2011

TUG has big plans for education programs next year that go well beyond a single TEC conference.

We plan for executive Breakfasts at Schulich, “Night School” at Seneca, joint AIX / i MoMs and mini-TEC conferences which feature special guest instructors. In addition, we have learned to start the TEC planning well ahead of the actual date. In fact, for TEC 2011 our goal will be to have complete information (date, time, tracks, prices, logos) available in September, so companies can properly plan and budget.

Being on the TEC committee can be a very rewarding experience and is vital for our community growth. We’d love to have you!

One of our first acts will be to decide on the name of the committee, given the expanded scope (“Offerings Committee? Product Committee?). How will we operate and divide responsibilities? We learned much from our experience, and we can all put it to use!

Our first committee meeting is planned for Tuesday July 20th 6:00 pm at Malaysia http://www.restoranmalaysia.com/. Yes, you heard about this place... Leo’s new favourite!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME. RSVP.

Let’s make it a great year!

Mark Buchner,

TUG Executive Director,
