Welcome to your January News
Chairman's Note
Happy New Year, I hope you all had a great break over the Christmas and New Year period and are ready to take on the new decade? Over the next couple of weeks, our 2020 programme of events will start with Webinars in January, saving the need to travel in one of the colder months of the year. While our face to face Special Interest Group events kick off with a varied programme in February.
Earlier this week the UKISUG Board met to review the last year and sign off the plans for this year. Following a very successful 2019 I am pleased to announce this year we have some changes to make your User Group even better. For example, to provide additional value to your membership, later this year we will be launching a couple of white papers written exclusively for you our members – more details to follow… ![]() We are delighted to announce that, after the successful appointments of new Directors in 2016 & 2018, we will be opening the nomination process for a new Director position on the UKISUG Board in the coming weeks. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills and get involved in areas of running an organisation that you might not typically touch in your day job. As a valued member of the User Group, we want to offer you the chance to have your say on how we run and manage our organisation.
If you feel this position is for you, you have a passion for the future plans of the User Group, a keen interest in all things SAP and would like to put yourself forward; then keep your eyes peeled for further information coming soon.
