• Networking: Members can attend monthly community conferences and trainings which will be designed to establish and maintain personal connections among members.

• Communications: Members can access and contribute to the My-TUG site that will promote ideas and best practices, and which will be the voice for the local Microsoft community. We also provide opportunities to interact with Microsoft employees, experts, and your peers in order to share knowledge and news about Microsoft products and related technologies.

Now My-TUG is also spreading its wings towards even 3rd Party product support that may be hardware / software and wish to be the best in all platforms. Example: Cisco, Symantec, Veritas, Oracle, SUN Microsystems and also Linux.

• Community Action: We create opportunities for our members to contribute their IT expertise to those who otherwise would not have access to good technology resources, such as other non-for-profits, schools, and community organizations.
