Reorganization of the OHUG Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

OHUG's SIG community has experienced tremendous growth in the past three years under the Leadership of Stacie Henn, OHUG Board Member and SIG Chair. Commitment to the SIGs and their future growth is one of our primary goals, and we now believe the time has come to restructure the SIGs into two distinct groups:

1. Product SIGs: EBS Comp & Ben, PSFT Comp & Ben, Payroll, and Technology

2. Industry/GEO: Canada, Mexico, Defense, Public Sector/Higher Ed, Retail/Services/Hospitality

Our newly designed SIG organization will be co-managed by two OHUG Board Members: Stacie Henn is the Chair of the Industry/GEO SIGs and Judy Hamilton (Unifirst Corporation) is the Chair of Product SIGs. This enhanced organizational structure is very strategic for SIG growth, communication, and services to our members. Thank you Stacie and Judy for your ongoing support and leadership within the SIG community!
