SCAUG’s New Website

In case you’ve not already noticed, SCAUG revamped its website. Sporting a new look, there’s a lot of new content and it’s easier to use than the previous site. An expanded menu on the left bar will take you to pages for the individual State and subchapters, current events, this Blaug, a discussion forum, jobs listing, and the searchable membership directory. Content is regularly maintained so be sure to visit often! Check it out at http://scaug.org.
