The Datatel Users' Group (DUG) provides the opportunity for Datatel Clients to share ideas, network with other members and develop their professional skills. Members are encouraged to become involved with the group through volunteer activities such as presenting conference sessions, serving on DUG committees, or becoming elected as a member of the Governing Board.  DUG holds an annual conference in the Washington D.C. area to promote user best practices, information sharing and networking among our peers.  Regional Users' Groups (RUGs) also meet throughout the year.
