We're New Here
This is the website for a group of Twin Cities folks who know each other through involvement with the now-defunct Independent Computer Consultants Association (ICCA) and its local Minnesota chapter.
We're currently involved in the following activities, and developing a few more:
- CONSULT-MN Listserv. We maintain an e-mail discussion group at www.consult-mn.org/listserv where we talk about where we want to go and how to get there. Please feel free to visit and eavesdrop on or participate in the discussion. If you subscribe, you will get e-mails when there is activity.
- A LinkedIn presence. Find us at www.linkedin.com/e/vgh/3140711.
- Small group. There is a smaller group of us that meet every so often (currently for breakfast on Saturday) to work on formulating options for successor organizations. The results, activities, and meeting schedule of this small group are described on the listserv.
- Dinner Meetings. The full group meets every other month for dinner at Axel's Char House (35W and County Road D in Roseville). These meetings are on the third Thursday. Everyone interested is welcome. You are responsible for your own meal costs. The next dinner meeting is Thursday, August 19, 2010. We start gathering around 5:30 and usually eat around 6:30.
- Promoting and distributing ICCA's seminar video. Our predecessor organization videotaped a seminar for new consultants; we're keeping it alive by distributing it to community cable outlets and making it available online. You can watch it here.
- An education initiative. More information soon!
