About Me:

I have been a web editor for JCCC for 5+ years. This is my 19th year at the college and have worked as a systems analyst, trainer and manager before becoming involved with the web. This conference will be very beneficial for us because we are in the process of selecting a new CMS system for the college. I am looking forward to meeting and discussing issues about this process with everyone.

Brian Heaton at Missouri State would also be a good person to consult. Why don't we schedule a time in the collaboration room to chat after you arrive at the conference?
