In 2009, two of my
friends, Ruselle Seeboo and Anand Singh, and I were discussing ways in which we
could help improve the IT community in Trinidad and Tobago. We discovered that
in various parts of the world there are IT User Groups which provide training
to individuals and the opportunity to network with peers so we decided to start
a group. After much discussion and research we started the Trinidad and Tobago
SQL Server User Group in 2010 which focuses on SQL Server and other Microsoft
technologies.
The group still
exists and we still want to make a positive impact on the IT community but I
have realised that the number of attendees and volunteers for our events is
not increasing. One reason is that newcomers to the IT field don't know that we
exist and the other reason is that some of our registered members have lost
interest.
If you are or were a
member of the group but don't attend events anymore please give us feedback by
sending us an email at info@ttssug.org. Never heard of TTSSUG before? Then
check out the follow links for more information about the group:
If you are
interested in upcoming events then follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
We have an event next week Tuesday at Microsoft Trinidad and Tobago Building,
so review the event details and register.
Anyone with ideas on
how we can continue growing can email us at info@ttssug.org. The group was
created for building the IT community so feedback from the community is very
important to us and would be greatly appreciated!

I'd be willing to work with you on a marketing strategy to target newcomers to IT (in particular recent IT/CS graduates).
