We would like to thank all the people that put work into helping us get re-located: Eric Grish of Computer Technologies Consultants (CTC) was very helpful in doing the leg work to scout locations and get his company behind us for financial support and Joe Coughlin of Directions Training for working with his team to pay the rent on the auditorium and get us set up at the new location. But with the move there is also a sad farewell to Judith Schneider of Digicon for being our Chairperson in charge of the Speakers Committee. She has done a marvelous job of keeping our calendar full for nearly 2 years.

Location: Downstairs Auditorium hosted by Directions Training at 2070 Chain Bridge Rd, Vienna, VA 22182 (Tysons Corner).

Congratulations to new MVPs Becky Isserman and Dux Sy on their recent achievement and recognition by their peers at Microsoft for MVP for 2011.

We are looking for topics and speakers. If you have a suggestion, please let us know. At each meeting, we typically have one non-technical / admin topic that would appeal to SharePoint users and administrators, and we have a technical presentation that would be aimed at the power users or developers.

We encourage you to share your experience with us because thoese presentations often have the most value for the other community members.

We are also looking for vendor presentations on products and services that are geared to the SharePoint community.

if you would like to make a presentation, please contact us at info@sugdc.org

For anyone that is interested in studying for a SharePoint Certification, we will be organizing a study group that will meet a couple times a month. Each of the members of the group will take a turn making a presentation to the other members on a selected topic relevant to the groups interest. There are several different certifications (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sharepoint-server.aspx#tab2) and we will be asking anyone that participates which track they would be interested in. Please come to a meeting and let us know what you are interested in.
