It is our sincere desire to make SETA Midwest an annual event, and we encourage you to participate in what we expect to be the premier regional user group meeting for SunGard SCT Clients. While we expect to have a great time, we will be focused on professional development activities related to database tools and processes, so please share this information with others on your staff and at your institution that you feel could benefit from this career enriching conference. Additional information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead on the listserv, and on the SETA website. We look forward to having you join us.
