When the Southeast Informix Users Group was founded in 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia, there were no other existing Informix user groups in that part of the U.S. The group chose a name that reflected its charter to serve the needs of Informix users throughout the Southeast. Today, although local groups have sprung up in several locations around the Southeast, SEIUG still endeavors to serve the region as a whole, especially those areas still without local groups. Group functions are regularly attended by members not only from Georgia, but surrounding states as well. Our meetings are usually half-day or full-day technically oriented seminars, workshops or training sessions. These events are co-sponsored with the local IBM sales office. There are no membership or other dues associated with joining SEIUG. We do ask that new members fill out a membership form to help us keep our mailing list accurate. To learn more about SEIUG or to complete our on-line membership form, please visit our Web page at www.iiug.org/seiug. You may also contact us directly via that site if you need additional information.

Our quarterly meetings have included presentations on support services through Informix Link and on Informix on Windows NT and Linux. This has been an exciting year for our user group and we look forward to another challenging year. Our objective is to provide technical tips, new product information and the opportunity to network with other Informix Users. The user group meets once a quarter. The meetings include technical presentations and question and answer sessions. The quarterly meetings provide opportunities to share information, learn about new products, get technical advice, discuss problems, share solutions, and network with other Informix users. In 1994, to cover expenses and support continued growth and funding of events, WAIUG's board of directors implemented dues. Annual dues are $20.00. Other benefits of membership are discounts on IIUG and WAIUG conferences, forums, and training events. For more information about membership, email or call the WAIUG Membership Director, James Edmiston at james@questisinc.com or 703.256.0267 x105 Go to www.iiug.org/~waiug for the newsletter archives and the latest information.
