Hello PLC-IAM-Mainframe members,

I will be representing our user community at the 2-day CA user group conference (CARE) November 15th- 16th as will the other members of the PLC Board. This conference is designed to gain insight into best practices and cutting edge solutions we can use to take our User Community to the next level.

For our user community, we will have dedicated product focused sessions with key leaders from CA Development, CA Support and other CA subject matter experts.  As members of this user community, we'd like your input, suggestions, concerns, and feedback to share with CA leadership during this session.  This will ensure that this meeting is as productive as possible in representing the interests of our user community

ACTION:  Your input is critical to maintain and improve the strength of the CA products we use and our relationship with CA.  By November 1st, please send your thoughts, topics, questions, and concerns to me at irlohneiss@dstsystems.com or another board member as listed below and I/we will be happy to bring these to the attention of CA on your behalf.
