The MUG Center Survey of Mac User Groups

Macintosh User Groups come in a variety of styles, focuses and structures. Campus, application-specific, community, industry, online and many others make up the dynamic and evolving user group community.

To better understand that community, and to help you understand what you and your group are part of, The MUG Center is conducting a survey of user groups with the new "Question of the Week" series. You'll find our question of the week at the top of our ad bar on the right hand side of each page on The MUG Center.
