Joining LUG
The LUG currently has a few memberships available. Applications are considered in the order they are received by the LUG board. You are invited to submit an application.
The LUG executive board and current members will evaluate a prospective member company. The LUG executive board makes the final decision on new LUG member companies.
Membership requires a new disclosure agreement between IBM and the member company that is specific to LUG participation. IBM may disclose information about plans and strategies as part of LUG activities. Member companies do not divulge any confidential information as part of LUG membership.
The LUG is organized, incorporated, and run by members for the common benefit of LUG members and IBM. The LUG is not an IBM organization. The LUG, not IBM, decides who joins the LUG.
The LUG board reserves the right to limit the number of members in the organization.
All membership applications must be received at least six weeks prior to a meeting to be eligible to attend the meeting.
