We are always looking for User presentations for upcoming User Group meetings.  This is an excellent opportunity to not only share your knowledge and your experience with your peers, but also get feedback and ideas on the work that you are doing with SAS.  For more information, please contact Christy Hobley.  

There are other opportunities to become involved. For example, you can give a brief review of a SAS book listed in the website. By doing so, you are not only involved in the GHSUG activity, but also get a SAS book for free. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Debbie Weisensee.
