I’m also requesting that you ask your members to complete the same survey. The survey is only open until the end of February and is extremely important to us – not only does it tell us how we are doing and what we should be focusing on, it also helps us to justify the costs of the UGSS program including the funding we provide directly to the community. Once the survey is closed and we have had time to process the results, we will post the findings on UGSS for the community to review.

Complementary TechNet Professional (NFR) subscription for user group leaders.

One of the things that we said we would try and do for you as a user group leader is provide you with a TechNet subscription to help you in this role. When you complete the survey, you will be able to apply for a complementary TechNet Professional (NFR) subscription as described at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms772427.aspx, subject to your being a currently registered user group leader on www.usergroupsupportservices.com.
