Hello CTOUG Members!  

CTOUG has been experiencing rapid growth in new members and we have a great speaker lined up for out March 18th meeting that should propel trend that even further.  

In January, we had a Key Member of the Board, Arup Nanda (President, Proligence http://www.proligence.com/) resign. Arup has been a big contributor in the establishment and growth of CTOUG and his direct involvement will be missed. As you may already know, Arup was presented with the "DBA of the Year" award by Oracle at Oracle World 2003 and has been recognized in many other ways as a leading Oracle Technologist. We are excited for Arup in this great new opportunity to manage a team of DBAs for Starwood Hotels at their World Headquarters in White Plains, NY. We will be looking for another member of the CTOUG board to transition Arup's duties to, SEE BELOW.
