Leadership Changes

We wanted to to take a moment and let everyone know about some changes to the CARVMUG leadership team. Will Johnson who co-chaired the group has taken a job offer in California. If you have ever attended any of our meetings you will no doubt remember him filming the event and interviewing folks. If you go back to previous post on our site, you will see the videos he produced giving people a taste of what was going on at the meetings. Myself and Jerome Smith are still VMUG leaders and we have had a couple new faces that have stepped up and volunteered to help. The new group will be starting to organize the next meeting shortly.

I would like to personally thank Will for the countless hours of time he volunteered toward our local VMUG and wish Will the best of luck in his new job.
