PacITPros is starting a new Association for IT Professionals who are or are planning to become a Small Business Specialist. This association will focus on topics and issues of concern to small businesses, such as building your business, attracting new customers, advertising, selecting employees, etc. It will also cover small business technical concerns such as Microsoft’s Small Business Server, security, remote support for customers, back-up solutions, etc. Our plan is to have monthly meetings in several cities on the West Coast. I have created a survey on Survey Monkey for those interested to indicate their preferences. Please take a moment to respond. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=701902499121
