  • North Texas SAS User Group Jan 2009 Meeting
    Posted: 12/16/2008
    We are appealing to everyone to consider being a speaker at the next NOTSUG meeting. We usually have a SAS representative present at the January meeting but missed the boat on the request deadline as SAS is now requiring 3 months notice. Please consider presenting, if not this meeting, at a NoTSUG meeting this year.

    The next meeting is tentatively being planned for Monday January 12th. We will also vote for the 2009 officers at this meeting.

    Please contact myself or Randall Mills with your interest in this urgent matter.

    Thanks
    Sean Dwyer
