4 - ADOBE USER GROUP CONTACT INFORMATION
If you were at Macworld Boston and attended the Adobe Special Event for
user groups and professional associations, you probably would like to
express your appreciation for Adobe's continued support of user groups
(and you should).- But with the changes in the Adobe User Group Program,
there has been some question as to the best avenue for the expressions
of gratitude. (more)

Recently, Phil Shapiro, an active author and member of Washington Apple
Pi, posted an article to The MUG Center's Newsletter Content Email List
that was too good not to share. Experienced leaders know that running a
group is its own reward, but Phil points out ways that appreciation can
be expressed in ways that are both positive and pro-active. (more)
