Like many of you I learn when I can actively engage in discussions with other professionals. No one has all the answers. Engaging in crowd-sourced discussions allows us all to grow as there are few issues that someone has not already encountered. I want great discussions. Agreement with each other is not required but keep in professional. Abuse towards others personally will not be tolerated. This site is not for announcements purely social in nature, you know where you can take those. If you have an idea for a forum feel free to send me a note. Include your interest in being a moderator for that forum. There is a forum just for promotions. It's great you have products or services to sell but please put them here. Blatant promotions in discussion and networking forums will not be tolerated. I can read daily news articles from a number of sources so please don't cut and paste articles that are already widely posted. If you do run across an interesting article go ahead and post it but add your views and tell us why you posted it.

Feel free to list job openings, RFPs and contracting opportunities. Please update them when positions are filled. If you're looking for work, this is the place to let organizations know you are seeking opportunities.
