The TriUPA Planning Committee meeting is coming up next week on 2/22 @ 6PM @ Motricity.

If you attended the meeting last Tuesday, you'll remember that I announced we would have online elections. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to hold online elections. For various reasons, we need to incorporate the local chapter and can't collect dues until we have completed that process. However, we are going to proceed with elections on 2/22 so that we can capitalize on the momentum we've generated in the past couple of weeks.

If you're interested in running or know someone who would be a good candidate, please let me know. The deadline for nominations is 2/21. (Available offices are President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.) In addition to having the election, we're going to discuss our initiatives for the remainder of 2006, including

• Event planning and organization
• World Usability Day Planning Committee
• Web site and blog
• Volunteer Recruitment (Regional Ambassador program)
• Cross-organization collaboration

If you are interested in helping out on any of these initiatives, come on out to the meeting next Tuesday or email me. We appreciate all the help we can get!

Hope to see you there!
