Hello everyone,
The DC Regional User Group (which, contrary to the name, also includes
Virginia and Maryland) recently held a quick in-person meeting at last
week's ELUNA conference in Los Angeles. Below is a synopsis of what was
discussed, which includes some important announcements.
After three years as co-chair of the group, Laura Morales is stepping down
from the position. She felt that now was the right time to leave, seeing as
how her current position doesn't involve Alma and Primo to the degree that
it once did.
On a similar note, I have decided that the 2023 annual meeting will be the
last one I help to organize. Laura and I have had a great time as co-chairs
of the group, and it's time for us to pass on the torch.
Some feedback I received last week was to institute co-chairs on a rolling
basis; each co-chair would serve two years, and the terms of each chair
would overlap.
With that in mind, I am calling for volunteers to co-chair DC RUG for 2023
- 2024. Co-chairing involves two major responsibilities : 1) keeping an eye
on the DC RUG listserv, and 2) organizing the annual meeting. Although the
annual meeting has been held online for the past three years, there is the
potential to host an in-person meeting.
For this upcoming year, I would serve as your co-chair; then in 2024, a new
co-chair would step in as my replacement and would serve from 2024-2025.
If you are interested or have questions about the role, please email me at
