We’re also actively seeking help in planning and organizing the conference especially from those who are in the Philadelphia or Wilmington area. Here’s a great chance to get involved with ESRIMUG, meet some new colleagues, and to have some input into the conference content.
Brendan Ford, golf outing chairman, is already at work planning this year’s tournament. Preliminary plans call for it to be held in June 2008. Watch the ESRI-MUG web site for more news. Anyone interested in playing in or sponsoring the event should send an email to Brendan Ford (Brendan@esrimug.org).
