Program Goals:

• Speaker sharing is one of the many ways SESUG and SAS support local SAS user groups.
• SESUG and SAS will co-sponsor and provide SAS user groups in the SouthEast a yearly presentation selected from our list of topics and delivered by our SESUG EC featured speakers.

Program Specifics:

• Local and in-house SAS user groups in the SESUG region (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC, Puerto Rico) are eligible to participate.
• Sponsorship is limited to one speaker each calendar year.
• SESUG fulfills local SAS user group requests for speakers based upon speaker availability, and reasonable travel costs.
• In support of the SESUG Speaker Sharing Program, SAS provides matching funds to assist SESUG in maximizing the effectiveness and coverage of the Speaker Sharing program.
