Due
to how many people are coming, there will not be enough room for
parking in Irwin Seating Co.'s normal parking lot in front of their
building. For those that find it to be full, please follow the
directions following to park in the appropriate lot behind the building.
Heading North on Fruit Ridge Ave from US 96 Irwin Seating’s front entrance will be on your left but to proceed to the back lot simply continue about 100 yards and the main parking entrance will be on your left. The double door entrance will be unlocked and we will provide signs to direct everyone to the Auditorium from the back entrance. If anyone has issues that morning please have them call our main phone # (616) 574-7400 and have Coke Irwin paged.
See you on the 18th!

September SFDC User Group Notes
For those of you that were unable to attend, you missed out on a great meeting. Here are some of the highlights:
- Kevin Edelmann, Delta Dental
- Kevin walked through workflow and process examples as well as web
integrated links that were fantastic to learn about during the meeting,
so I have attached his presentation for good measure.
- Randy Rodriguez, Bluewolf - Randy provided some examples of integrating data from outside sources with Force.com in order to establish new workflow processes and dramatically increase efficiency.
- GR User Group Steering Committee - In an effort to add more value to the group and its members, I am creating a steering committee to help lead the group going forward. If you are interested in participating, please let me know.
- LinkedIn Group Discussions
- In the June meeting, it was recommended that there be an online forum
for members to reach out to one another to ask questions and gain from
one another's experiences and expertise. After looking at a couple of
different options, LinkedIn's Group Discussions was selected due to the
ability to control membership to only those in the group. If you are
not registered on LinkedIn, click here.
Then go to Groups and search Grand Rapids Salesforce.com User Group and
join. You will be notified via email once I authorize your membership.
- NEXT MEETING: November 18th from 8:30am - 11:30am. Agenda, location and presenters will be confirmed soon.
If there is anything else you need, do not hesitate to contact me.
