TAUG is TMA Resources Annual Users Group meeting. This year they met in Louisville, and it was, once again, a successful event.
I’ve mentioned this users group meeting before, but what I wanted to highlight this year is how TMA Resources treats the consultants who work in the association software space. There are three specific things TMA Resources does that I think are very smart:
- They allow industry consultants to attend the users group conference for free.
- They hold two sessions specifically for industry consultants (by invitation only) designed to update the consultants on what is happening at TMAR.
- They recognize all the consultants in attendance during one of the general sessions.
These are all very easy, low- to no-cost ideas that make me think that TMAR really does care about working with industry consultants. I’ve not encountered this kind of positive treatment at any of the other users group meetings I’ve attended. (Hint, hint to the other vendors!)
