NUFW Members Ken Lynch, Joe Kennedy and Armanda Turney  have started a second learning opportunity that will focus on Sql Server Learning. Our goal is to become a PASS group. This group will meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month. It will be less formal and have all member driven content and presentations.

The Premium Membership Fee is $150.00 and entitles you to the current SQL Server Magazine information. There is a promotion through PASS to discount that fee to $60.00. We are looking into the discount prices for the Premium Membership. There are PASS groups in both Indy and Chicago. All content will focus on Sql Server.
