After two outstanding years leading the NYC User Group, John Merrill is ready to pass the baton.  Unfortunately for us, the responsibilities of his day job have expanded and he no longer has the bandwidth to plan the meetings and manage the group.  Please join me in extending a big "Thank You" to John for his efforts since 2005.  He's done a tremendous job and leaves the group in a great position for the next leader(s).

If you are interested in a leadership role, please contact me and we can discuss what's involved.  The NYC group is our biggest in the world - (co-)leading it is a prime position!
