The UWIT Web Site is getting a new look and will be back up soon.

While you are waiting for the new site, why don't you join us this Wednesday September 23rd, for the September UWIT meeting?

How will we grow the talent pipeline to manage the business of IT in the state of South Carolina? Join us for an eye opening discussion on the predicted shortage of IT professionals in the state of South Carolina. Lonnie Emard, Executive Director of the Consortium for Enterprise Systems Management, will be making a presentation to our group about what they are doing to grow the IT talent pool within the state of SC. Lonnie is also the Director of Staff Resource Management at BlueCross in Columbia.

The consortium will address growing IT hiring challenges, such as attracting students to consider technology careers. The coalition was set up by BlueCross, IBM, and the University of South Carolina as collaboration to grow IT talent, nurture IT management expertise and cultivate related business and organizational relationships. It now includes 14 member organizations.

Join us for lunch and learn what is going on in our state and our industry. Lunch is served at 12:00 noon at City Range Restaurant on Haywood Road in Greenville. Cost is $11.00 for lunch. Please RSVP to Jill Rose at jill.rose@acentron.com or to Acentron at 675-1592.
