USER GROUPS > WHY LEAD A USER GROUP?

Why take the time and effort to lead a user group? Ask any user group leader and they will tell you that the satisfaction of leading a users group far outweighs the time they invest. Here are a few reasons why:

• Gain exposure to other business segments and industries, in an environment that focuses on the sharing of best practices in migration, upgrades, and problem solving.
• Play a pivotal role in your user group’s directions and gain valuable insight into the JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, and Oracle processes for user groups, management teams and enhancement processes.
• Build your skills as you work to foster strong project management, communication, and organizational skills through planning, organizing, and conducting meetings, in person or online.
• Become a stronger leader as you learn how to best motivate participants, and receive feedback in a supportive atmosphere.
• Expand your knowledge of the products offered and keep yourself on top of current events and news in the software and hardware industries.
• Create a network of strong relationships that can be tapped as resources throughout your career.
• Give your company a leg up with a solid “user-to-Oracle” line of communication, guaranteeing that your needs and opinions are communicated.
• Increase visibility for both you and your employer through a multitude of professional channels related to software and hardware solutions.
