Catalyze Update September 6, 2007  
Dear Catalyze,

Thank you again for joining the Catalyze community.  We will be sending out bi-weekly email updates to keep all members up-to-date with links to the lastest new content, discussion forums and events.
 
On August 31, Catalyze set another milestone when we broke the 900 member barrier - which means that 800 members have joined in the last 3 months when we publicly launched Catalyze.  The Catalyze LinkedIn Group has also proven to be very popular and now numbers almost 160 connections. 
 
Beyond adding members, the key to our long-term success is to have all members actively participate on a regular basis. 

Please keep recommending and inviting your friends and colleagues who may be interested in Catalyze by forwarding this email to them or telling them to check it out.
Next Catalyze Monthly Webcast  
Thursday, September 20 @11am PDT/2pm EDT
Carol Miller from Advanced Concepts Center (ACC) will show us "There's More than One Way to Find a Requirement."
 
Go to the Catalyze Events page to register and to get more details.  If you miss the original webcast, we will be recording it for future upload into Catalyze.

Monthly webcasts and teleconferences will be part of the regular programming for Catalyze.  Please contact me if you have a topic or are interested in participating as a speaker or moderator.

Catalyze LinkedIn Group  
Expand your network with LinkedIn 
LinkedIn is the leading business and professional networking site with over 12 million members.  Since many Catalyze members are also members of LinkedIn, we have created a special LinkedIn group for Catalyze members to leverage this connection.
 
When you join the Catalyze group, you will get a Catalyze group logo in your profile and you will be able to search for other group members.
 
All members are automatically pre-approved for the LinkedIn Catalyze group - simply click this link to confirm your membership in the LinkedIn Catalyze group.  (note, you need to use the same email address used to join Catalyze or you will be added to the pending approval list which generally clears in less than 24 hours).
 
Thank you again for helping make Catalyze the number one destination community for business analysts and usability professionals. 
 
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
 
Sincerely,
 

Tom Humbarger, Community Manager
Catalyze Community
