Hi folks, This is a great success story from Chris Duncan at GISMatters, who also signed up for the fundraiser/sales program on May 16. Only a handful of seats are available so register today at www.hidden-tech.net. >In the less than 2 years that I've been in business, Hidden-Tech has been >instrumental to my success in myriad ways. Least material but perhaps >most important in the end has been the support, companionship, >encouragement, and inspiration of this fine group of talented and positive >people. Through the meetings and listserve, Hidden-Tech provides a steady >supply of friendship, ideas, advice, and more. There's also an added >benefit from all of this: the feeling that there's always going to be >someone there to help with the next question or problem - that sense of >security counts for a lot, easing the feeling that I'm completely on my >own in this enterprise. > >At the other, completely material end of the spectrum, Hidden-Tech has >been the direct source of at least one significant client. Answering on >the listserve what I took to be a casual request for minor help with a >spreadsheet problem turned out to be a major ongoing project with a new >client that has already outgrown the initial scope and led to new >opportunities. Hidden-Tech is both a magnet for people seeking quality >services and, I suspect, also lends some extra shine to its members when >responding to pleas such as the one I answered. > >Thanks for all you have done and continue to do to keep this amazing >enterprise going! See you on the 16th! > >Chris > >-- > >Chris Duncan, Ph.D. >President >GISmatters > >duncan at GISmatters.com >http://www.gismatters.com/ > >227 E Pleasant St >Amherst, MA 01002 > >Tel: 413-549-2052 >Fax: 508-637-2557 > > >
