Aaron Buma and I, with help from the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) have formed an official PASS chapter called the Bellingham SQL Server Users Group.
Here is the description of what a PASS Chapter is:
PASS Chapters are local user groups that meet regularly in communities around the world to share their passion and knowledge about Microsoft SQL Server and Business Intelligence. Each Chapter has its own style, leadership, and schedule to meet members’ needs. And with over 250 PASS Chapters worldwide – and growing – there’s likely a group in your area.
PASS Chapters are a free and easily accessible resource for learning more about SQL Server and connecting with other SQL Server professionals in your area. They are also your local connection to the PASS Community.
We will be scheduling 2 events per month, one will be an after work event, usually at 6:00pm on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month (depending on scheduling). This meeting will usually be 2 hours with information on other PASS events, a guest presenter, and some time for networking with others in the chapter.
The second event will be a networking lunch where we just pick a restaurant somewhere in Bellingham to meet with the users group for lunch once a month. This will be on the 4th Tuesday of the month.
