Elect me to the AUGI Board of Directors! (Please)

Dear All,

I am a candidate for election on the international Board of Directors (BoD) for Autodesk User Group International (AUGI). Should I be elected I will be working internationally for the benefit of Autodesk users worldwide.

Here is my election blurb from the AUGI website:

Shaun, a pioneer of the original AUGI UK Country Chapter (AUGIuk), strongly believes that AUGI is an invaluable resource to ALL Autodesk users.

Having represented AUIuk at Board level at AU2006, 2007 and 2008, he works hard with his AUGIuk Board members to maintain the AUGIuk Country Chapter.

Offerring over 20 years of AutoCAD experience and over 6 years with the AUGIuk Board, Shaun regards the opportunity of serving the AUGI international community as an honour, not a privilege.

"I sincerely hope that you will consider me as a suitable candidate to represent AUGI at an international level" - Shaun Bryant.

I really do hope that you will head on over to the AUGI website and vote for me!

The link is here.

And here is the full link should you need to copy and paste:

You will need to be registered on the AUGI site as a member and need to be logged in to vote.

I see this position (if elected) as an honour, not a privilege and would relish serving the worldwide Autodesk community.

Please vote for me.

Thanks in advance,

SB

CAD Gorilla - AutoCAD 2011 Essentials released!

I am very pleased to say that CAD Gorilla have released their AutoCAD 2011 Essentials video learning title!

Check out the trailer here....

CAD Gorilla are a focused company who specialise in providing high-quality video learning material for Autodesk users. They also provide video learning titles for Inventor and Revit. They are a great bunch of guys who make learning CAD products fun! Check out their CAD Gorilla trailer with the chimpanzee on the typewriter and you'll see what I mean! LOL :-)

I am honoured to say that I was asked by CAD Gorilla to author their AutoCAD 2011 Essentials course and working with these guys is great. They have enthusiasm for their products but, most importantly, they have a sense of humour. They realise that CAD isn't sometimes the most exciting topic in the world, right? So, CAD Gorilla put their take on it and, hey presto, you have an exciting learning product that is current and packaged in a way that it makes you want to buy it and get learning. I mean, I wrote the AutoCAD 2011 Essentials title and I would go out and buy it, yeah?

CAD Gorilla are worth watching! Check out their other Autodesk titles at www.cadgorilla.com.

Happy CADD'ing!
