Sponsorship is one aspect of the JUG many of our members are aware of, but probably spend little time thinking about. Trust me, those of us on the steering committee think long and hard about this! We are always trying to find ways to enrich our community through new members and, of course, the content and atmosphere of our meetings.
After talking to some of our sponsors, we have expanded and reworked our sponsorship options in preparation for 2011. Please take a look and tell any organizations you think might be interested in helping our community. We greatly appreciate or sponsors, who have made this JUG possible for over five years. You can see some of our current sponsors to the right of this article, where someone’s banner is attractively displayed, interesting, seductive, beckoning you to click on it and see what lies behind…
