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.
30,500 of your Dynamics GP peers are waiting for YOU to join the Community!
