Good afternoon DCRUG community, 

As announced at the DCRUG Annual Meeting, we are following up with everyone regarding a vote on potential names for our regional user group and a call for volunteers to discuss what it is we want from this group: what should meetings look like, how should we structure ourselves, and how can we better utilize this group as a resource for all. We have heard your feedback on these topics over the past two years and we believe involving everyone is the best path forward. 


Vote on name for our regional user group: 
Please use the following link to submit your vote for regional user group name. This vote is open to all members of this list and the vote will close on Monday, 12/16/24. Options include our current name and all solicited suggestions we received from user group members.

Call for volunteers:
If you're interested in joining the discussion about how we could organize or utilize this group better, please fill out this form:

https://forms.gle/QnvqogsmQFirE1Si9

Form will be open through 12/16/24. We will then contact all volunteers in January about setting up a meeting. 


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
