At User Group University at MWSF04 I did a presentation on "Attracting
Youth To User Groups".
Every user group should be finding and training new leaders and board
members. This session will explore various facets of user group
administration including optimal board size, leadership recruitment,
prevention of volunteer burnout and tension among board members, how to
maintain good board communication, and where to find needed training.
Pat will share her recent successes in revitalizing the Washington
Apple Pi Board of Directors by discussing information gleaned from user
group discussion lists, training resources personal experiences. She
will invite attendees to discuss their own group's successes and
failures.
This should help with some questions/concerns.

At User Group Leadership Conference at MWNY03 I did a presentation with
Dennis Wurster on "Inter-MUG Relationships: Making Them Work". This
presentation can offer advice for having both community and campus
groups to work together.
Just as no one can whistle a symphony for a whole orchestra, User
Groups can have a "greater sound" when they work together. Hear how a
pair of MUGs in upstate New York, one a young campus group and the
other an experienced community group, have joined forces to help each
other. One benefited with a broader audience and increased fundraising
potential, while the other has access to young, talented members. Here
is an opportunity to learn how highly motivated members forged this new
relationship and to hear their continued plans for the future. By
forming ties with another group, even if they aren't just like yours,
you too can add new energy and ideas to your local groups.
