A big thank you to Kathy Ecklund for her efforts as co-leader of the Twin Cities Salesforce.com Leader Group over the past 7 months!  I don't know what I would have done without her!

As many of you know, Kathy has taken a position as a Sr. Consultant at Model Metrics, a Salesforce.com Partner.  Because of this, she will no longer be able to be a co-leader of the User Group, however we welcome her as an active member and know she will continue to add value to our group.

Thanks for everything Kathy and best of luck to you in your new endeavor!

Also, my email address will be changing soon as I too will be changing companies.  I will be joining Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN starting Aug. 4, 2008 and will send an email with my new contact information soon after that time. 

Thanks in advance to all of you as I "go it alone" as User Group Leader.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Twin Cities salesforce.com User Group meeting - Wednesday, July 9th at Andersen Windows.  We had a great turnout, with 61 people in attendance and 3 really informative demonstrations by Demand Chain Systems, Reside, and Model Metrics.

Attached are pdfs of the presentations that were given by two of the Partners.  Check back soon for the third one.
