Re: [PIUG List] The PIUG Professional LinkedIn group is available

Hi, Alan.

The PIUG Board approved this action to provide another avenue for PIUG
members to connect with each other. One must be an active PIUG member to
join this LinkedIn group. The group designation legitimizes the claim
that a person is a member of PIUG and it displays the logo as part of
that person's profile. We hope to find out from this experience whether
or not this LinkedIn tool will be useful to foster interaction among
PIUG members or perhaps bring PIUG expertise to the broader community.

Best regards,
Cynthia
