PowerBulder Coaching Team

** Hot News **

    ISUG are pleased to announce the launch of a PowerBuilder Coaching initiative starting on October 1st (originally September 24th)! ISUG have formed a team of experts in PowerBuilder that will be presenting content to user group leaders in order for those leaders to present back to their own group!  These sessions will not be open to the general membership but will be open to delegates of user groups around the world.  Those people will in turn present the content back to their own user groups.  PowerBuilder will be the first product covered in this initiative and others will follow shortly.

    Unlike regular sessions, the coaching sessions will go beyond the basic presentation, and will delve into set up (e.g., a demo presentation doesn't just occur; it needs to be set up first), presentation details, Q&A so the user group leaders can fully understand what is being presented, and post presentation materials.Some of ISUG's coaches already hold the role of user group leader in their own locale, and they will be sharing presentations that they have given so that other user group leaders can benefit from them as well.

    If you'd like to join the ISUG coaching team, please contact ISUG's Executive Director Mike Harrold directly.  If you think ISUG is cool and makes you want to start a user group in your area, you can contact Mike about that too!
