How do
you handle sticky ethical situations if you're a user group leader and
also
work in the industry?
I've been running NIMUG for the last 5 years and in the last 12 months
I've moved into working in the industry.
I decided to give myself a rule. I would promote my company less than
any other company on our mailings, forums, web site. Now, that said, we
get very little promo materials from other companies but it means that
I'm controlled. It's not a bad compromise. Every now and then one of
the other guys gives themselves a big promo speech on our forums which
lets me cut loose for a bit.
We have 4 Authorised Resellers here and 1 Service Provider. Not one of
the resellers has done anything for NiMUG.
Does your user group have rules, standards, or bylaws on this? I am
sure
this question can be of great value to many user groups so hearing
from leaders
with experience and solutions on this would be appreciated.
No, but then I'm also the benevolent dictator.
