Structure and Leadership

UGStructure2
User Groups are structured by topic, giving those with experience in particular areas the opportunity to discuss and help in the development of those areas.

User Group Work Flow

Led by agency volunteers, User Groups report their findings and make recommendations to the User Group Leadership Board. The Solutions Board is looped in to provide technical input into the User Group materials. Recommendations then flow up to the Enterprise Change Control Board for action, then to the Governance Board.

For additional information, review the SFS User Group Charter.
