via Zoom  |
| On Wednesday, May 14 at 10 am PST, 1 pm EST, and 6 pm GMT, we'll enjoy our
next DEC Connection Zoom event - a 2nd Tech Talk with Jeff Bergart.
Jeff's
Finance career at DEC was marked by success, innovation and FUN!
With his uniquely multi-disciplinary background, Jeff loved to
contribute to his organizations in unexpected ways. Jeff's second
presentation is about his FUN years in Computer Special Systems
(1985-1993).
To sign up for Jeff's CSS talk, email
info@decconnection.org.
Provide your name, and email address for the Zoom invite (which will be
emailed about a week ahead of the event). We ask that you be a
paid-up DEC Connection member to participate in this very interactive
Zoom session (which will be recorded, but we all know it's way
better to be in the Room Where it Happened). If your membership has expired or you haven't
ever joined up, please do so now at this
link: http://www.decconnection.org/join-online.htm. One year of
membership is only $10 and is OH-SO-SATISFYING. |
