A special NESUG welcome

At NESUG we value all of the SAS users in our community, and we strive to make the conference experience an educational, pleasant, and fun one for everyone.  This year we would like to recognize those that are new to the professional SAS users community with our new Junior Professionals Program.  Those of you that fit this category, please read below for a chance at a free registration at this year’s conference.  Don’t delay though – the DEADLINE IS THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 10 (my apologies for the late post).

With support from SAS, NESUG has a new grant program to encourage and make it easier newer SAS users to attend and participate in NESUG 2011.

We are pleased to be able to offer free conference registration to selected SAS users who are using SAS in their workplace and have been doing so for less than 3 years.  This is intended for those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend NESUG.

Each grant will cover the NESUG Conference Registration fee (allowing attendance at presentations and conference events from Sunday evening, September 11 through noon on Wednesday, September 14) plus a half-day workshop (morning or afternoon) on Sunday, September 11.

Travel expenses, accommodation and meals will be the responsibility of the attendee and will not be covered by the grant.

NESUG is an all-volunteer organization.  We expect that our grant recipients will volunteer at least ½ day of their time during the conference to assist NESUG, as many of our attendees do.  Volunteering is a great way to meet people and contribute to the success of the conference.

If you have been using SAS in the workplace for less than 3 years and would like to be considered for a Junior Professional grant, please tell us about yourself by providing the information requested in the application form and emailing it as an attachment to JrProf@nesug.org by the application deadline of June 10.  Notification of grants will be emailed to applicants by June 20.
