My name is Cindy Lichtenauer and I am on the IIUG Board of Directors for
2004. I am responsible for LUG's (Local User Group's). Please feel free to

contact me directly at (913)829-1405 or cindy@iiug.org. I will happy to
answer any questions or deal with any concerns. I will also be happy to
assist with the planning or start up of any local user group meetings
worldwide. I can help arrange speakers and send out email blasts to active

IIUG members in your locations.

As stated in previous emails, IBM does not fund any of the LUG's directly,

but they are willing to provide various things via an IBM liasion, who is
assigned to each LUG. IBM considers the User Group programs to be very
important to the company and their products. The IBM liasions are there to

assist the LUG's and provide support in the following ways:
arrange IBM facilities for meetings, arrange for food and beverage as
appropriate, provide promotional giveaways, fund IBM speaker expenses.

A good number of the LUG's also receive funding from 3rd parties, by
giving them slots for presentations at the meetings or sponsorships.

Also, I believe the majority of the LUG's websites are hosted on the IIUG
server. (UK IUG included)

Hope this helps,
Cindy

Subject: RE: IIUG Funding

The UK IUG gets no funding from the IIUG - should we ? I am not aware
of any funding to help in administering the user group either from the
IIUG or IBM, although IBM does allow us to use its facilities. If
funding were available for web maintenance, meetings and administration
then I believe that it would have a very positive impact on the user
group activities.

The IIUG IS helping out at local users groups. So is IBM and many other
vendors. What websites and meetings are you asking about? I was just
at the largest IIUG local user group meeting in Washington D.C. last
week. About 150 people attended and there wasn't a shortage of funding
that I could see. What group are you a part of or which one would you
like to help start?

So the IIUG is supposed to be helping out the Local User Groups? Why is
this not evident in the majority of the websites and meetings? The User
Groups seem to be substantially under-funded.
