 The SAO Board of Directors feels strongly that there is strategic
value in getting the CIOs, IT Managers and MIS Specialists of Oregon's
companies together to build a stronger network in order to solve
common problems more effectively.  Your input is very important.
While we are aware of other networking opportunities that you may be
involved in, we believe that the SAO is in the unique position to
provide an effective forum for idea sharing and mutual problem solving
- building a stronger and more vibrant executive community.  And for
those of you who don't know us, we'd love to meet you!
