I would like to announce the launch of the International SharePoint Professionals Association (ISPA)!
This organization has been formed to support all SharePoint-based user groups and you can read about it in Bob Fox's post here.
I have been named as a Regional Evangelist for the Heartland district which covers Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan. In my role, I will be helping support the user groups in my region so that they get what they need to build a successful community. I am looking forward to my role with ISPA and working with user groups in the Heartland district!
