Do you want to add your user group to this list? Send me a note with your full contact information (including email and phone), user group name, area of focus, url, etc and I will add you to the list. You can contact me at (Please subscribe while you are there :)
Get to know your local Microsoft IT Pro Community Lead (Dan Stolts) - I am very interested in personally meeting IT Pro’s in my territory. So if you are interested, please come and introduce yourself (After the event if possible). Let me know if you want me to keep you informed of events in your area.
Facebook Group: Very shortly, I will be starting a FaceBook group to keep people informed of what is going on. If you want to make sure you do not miss out on other things I am doing I will keep you posted there and through email (if you like). I will only send you information that I feel is pertinent to you and/or your area (ie NY addresses will not be notified about Boston events, etc)
