So, you occasionally (or frequently) attend user group meetings. There is always that one ‘guy’ who organized  the venue, arranged for a star speaker to come in,  and even got pizza & pop. He/she collects the feedback forms after the meeting to send them off to INETA, and makes sure the meeting room is left in ‘presentable’ state so the user group doesn’t get kicked out of this meeting space. Updates of the group website are courtesy of this community champion….

In addition to incredible passion of your user group leader, did you ever wonder what is needed to run a successful user group?
