GPUG is a great place to connect with a community of peers who are eager and willing to support and answer questions to further one’s knowledge of Dynamics GP. It also breeds a culture of encouraging others to get involved whether it be by being chapter leaders or writing blogs, etc. Being a part of GPUG has allowed me to grow professionally in ways I never thought possible.
Talk with the attendees about the benefits of GPUG and encourage them to get more involved! Feel free to watch the video in your meeting.
