ODTUG - Board Elections

Many of you know ODTUG as the home for BI, EPM, and Hyperion content as part of their annual Kscope conference.  ODTUG also hosts other content at Kscope like Fusion Middleware, MySQL, Application Express, and more but those aren't as relevant to readers of this blog. What many of you may not know is that there isn't currently a long-term Hyperion evangelist on the board.  Luckily, we have an opportunity to correct this by the end of the month because ODTUG is having their annual elections to their Board of Directors.  There are 4 open positions and luckily, there are several Hyperion fans running for the board.


If you're a full member of ODTUG, drop what you're doing, visit https://www.odtug.com/apex/f?p=500:250:0,and cast your vote for at least some of the following four people (you're allowed to vote for up to 4 people):

• Cameron Lackpour (long-time ODTUG cheerleader)
• Eduardo Quiroz, interRel Consulting (co-founder of interRel)
• Tim Tow, AppliedOLAP (co-founder of the ODTUG Hyperion SIG)
• Angie Wilcox, JCPenney (current President of the ODTUG Hyperion SIG)

All of those individuals have 10+ years of allegiance to the Hyperion community.  If you have one more vote, may I suggest you cast it for the person who truly embraced the Essbase crowd into Kaleidoscope in the first place.  Mike Riley, current ODTUG President, is running for re-election.  I first met Mike 3 years ago when he reached out to offer Kscope as a place for Essbase groupies to congregate following the demise of the Hyperion Solutions conference.  Ever since, he has been supporting the Essbase/Hyperion/EPM/BI community in any way he can.

The deadline is only about two weeks away, so if you have a vote, go use it now.  The future depends on it.
