The new Autodesk User Group International (AUGI) Board is coming to town this week...they arrive today in San Rafael (Autodesk headquarters) for nearly 3 days of meetings. This annual meeting helps the new Board members get up to speed quickly as they lay out their ambitious plans for AUGI over the next year. They will also get a chance to meet with Autodesk Executives to educate them on the group's activities and accomplishments for 2004. I usually try to join them for their all-day meetings but unfortunately I'll be on the road until Friday morning. I'll sneak in and join them for their last day and take them all out to dinner (a nice reward for all their very hard work). Traditionally I make them all dinner but my travel schedule doesn't permit this year - who knows they might be grateful for that!
