Yes, I'm interested in this group. Not just for lobbying and publicity, but also to get a better sense of the technical and business needs surrounding the whole local IT/etc economy. We're not working together very effectively - for example, I'd prefer to do more programming work, and leave stuff like web design and Windows administration to other people. It's too much for a freelancer. Definitely interested in talking to people in Vermont and New Hampshire, seeing how I may need to relocate! -Tom On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 11:50 AM, Noah Smith <noah.smith at commonmediainc.com>wrote: > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > For a variety of reasons I've recently been considering forming a > professional association to support and promote Web, Digital Creative and > IT service industries in Western Massachusetts.
