I received an email from the UKOUG last week.

It turns out that I have won the vote to become the next Member Advocate for the UKOUG. I will (eventually) be joined on the board by Martin Widlake – who won the vote for the position of President Elect – a position whereby Martin will shadow the current UKOUG President before taking office on the Board. He has written about it here.

I would very much like to thank everyone who voted for me. I hope I can live up to your expectations. If you did not vote for me, that’s OK – I’ll represent you and your interests just the same as everybody else! Looks like I’m going to have to spend time getting up to speed with the Apps community, and re-acquainting myself with my old JDE friends.

Here’s to moving the User Group forward to meet the challenges of the changing face of our industry. See you all soon, and Cheers Everyone!

(sorry – would have posted this sooner but I was at the OUG Ireland User Group giving a couple of presentations and taking part in a Q&A panel about “18c and everything else!” – fantastic conference and lovely people there!)

UKOUG M.A. Voting Hots Up!

27/02/2018 Leave a comment

It’s getting hotter!

After many years volunteering at the UKOUG I am standing to be the Member Advocate at the UKOUG, representing the members on the board.

Do you think I will represent the membership well? Yes. VOTE FOR ME!

Oh, you must be the main UKOUG membership contact, or know who is, to vote.

One twist in the election is that Steve Davis has withdrawn from the vote due to business commitments, leaving a straightforward race between myself and Andy Nellis. That’s a shame as I think Steve would have made a good Member Advocate had he been voted in. Andy is unknown to me so I cannot comment on his suitability as a UKOUG volunteer or board member.

I’d really appreciate your vote – I know that many of you have voted for me already, but I want ALL of you to give me a strong mandate to improve the user group.
