RE: [aclug-L] ACLUG Vice-Pres Wanted

[John Alexander <john.alexander@xxxxxxxx>]

I would love to assume some of those responsibilities. The only  reservation
that I might have is that my new position requires that I spend a
signigicant amount of time on the road. Has anybody explored the possibility
of co-chairing the group? I could probably handle the paper work, if
somebody else could handle the meeting arrangements. Any other ideas?
