As soon as we get the conference presentations they will be posted to website along with a few pictures, and information about our next meeting.  Again let me thank all of you who attended, helped and presented.  With out your support and particapation the NCLUG couldn't have put on such a successful conference.

Finally while there were a lot of people involved in putting this conference together two indivduals deserve a special thank you for all the hard work, time and effort they put into coordinating the conference -- Thank you Paddy Jordan and Jim Austin.  Hope everyone has a happy and joyous holiday season.

As the Chairman of the North Carolina Local Users Group (NCLUG), I wanted to take the time and thank you for joining NCLUG and your continued support of the group and its endeavors. When we started NCLUG, the founding members hoped that NCLUG could become a valuable resource for the many Bentley product users in North Carolina. We also wanted to provide an avenue for fellow users to network and communicate with each other about the Bentley suite of products that is offered. I think we have more than succeeded in doing that and now we feel it is time to take NCLUG to the next level.

This past Fall NCLUG reached its ONE year anniversary and in doing so has now become an officially sanctioned Bentley User Group. What that means is NCLUG now has the backing and support of theBentley flagship. NCLUG has the capability of tapping into the many Bentley benefits and programs. As a member you should see more opportunities to increase your knowledge and improve your skills as a user. In addition to those opportunities, NCLUG will be providing a wider variety of training sessions with hands on training as well as general informational sessions that will benefit you as a member in your professional career. These topics will be based on feedback that we are receiving from members.NCLUG is also exploring the possibility of expanding the group by starting local subchapters in other parts of the state.

With this future growth and ambitious plans in the works, NCLUG welcomes and encourages you to join us as a volunteer, serve on a committee or become a board member. If any of this peaks your interest or you just want to find out more information about the opportunities that NCLUG offers, please contact us at nclug@membership.com . We would really like to have you join us and be a part of this exciting journey that NCLUG has embarked on. We need your talents and expertise to take NCLUG to that next level.

As I mentioned before NCLUG hopes to be bigger and better.  You can visit our website atwww.NCLUG.com to learn more and if you have any comments, questions or suggestions we would love to hear from you.  North Carolina Local Users Group is here for you, the member. We hope to see you at out next event.

Thank you for your support!
Jim Austin
Chairman North Carolina Local Users Group
