Message from the Board:

We enjoyed a visit from Donna Westmoreland last month and learned about her adventures in modernization. It made everyone realize we have much work to do! Donna has 30 years' experience on IBM midrange systems and currently is the CTO of Midrange Dynamics in North America. This company is a distributor of Midrange Dynamics Change Management. Thank you Donna!

We had our elections at the June meeting. We are very sorry to see Rasa Pizzi leave as secretary for NEMUG but welcome Rick Marcotte of iTech Solutions as our new Secretary. Thank you Rasa for your service and insight.

Annual Planning Meeting

Every summer NEMUG members meet and discuss speakers and topics for the upcoming year (September through June). We had some excellent speakers and topics this past year and want to continue that for next year. We invite you all to join us to help plan the year. The only requirement is that you come with at least one topic you (and your co-workers) would like presented at a meeting next year. If you know of a speaker as well, that would be very helpful. Feel free to bring ideas like this to the group!

If you cannot attend the Planning Meeting, but have ideas on topics you would like for next year, please e-mail them to Eileen Newell, enewell@fgxi.com or myself, ddawson@themooreco.com before July 25th.
