    Eric Anderson - DSD

    Eric has been part of the Sage community since 2001. He joined 90 Minds just as the group was starting to take form and attended the very first MOTM and almost every MOTM since (one exception). He greatly values the group as a whole and the individual relationships he has formed over the years. 

    Eric has worked as a Controller using MAS 90, Sage 100 Consultant, Sage Practice Manager, Director of Dynamics CRM/365 and now serves as the Director of Sage Consulting at DSD Business Systems. With experience advising hundreds of Sage 100, Microsoft Dynamics, and Sage Intacct customers over the years, while also having had the privilege to work with, manage, and learn from dozens of talented consultants, he has a unique perspective into the needs of SMB customers and partners.

    Alnoor Cassim - ASI Focus 

    Alnoor is a former 15-year Sage employee who worked at the mothership in Irvine, CA primarily supporting the Sage 100 product line. While currently a full-time contract developer with ASI, he has been an independent contractor and/or employee for different partner firms for the last 12 years primarily doing Sage 100 development, mgmt of development teams, technical consulting, and training. He is very well known and respected in the Sage partner community as the very helpful technical solutions guy, providing both consulting and development related under-the-hood insights. He is also been a member of 90 Minds since its founding year and has participated in every single MotM conference as a presenter and/or pre-session trainer. He has also been involved in past 90 Minds committees and has significantly contributed / posted on the Higher Logic and SocialCast platforms.

    Michelle Taylor - Dataself 

    While pursuing a programming degree, I figured out i didn't want to code for a living. So, during my many years of college, I began working in accounting, in banking and real estate industries. After completing my programming and accounting degrees, I took a year off and completed my MBA, then began my dream job. I knew I wanted to work on accounting systems in high school - I first held a $500 bill when helping my grandmother count money at her department store bookkeeping job, as a very small person. As my passion for counting coins grew, along with my knowledge of debits and credits, I wanted to help folks with the state of their business. As that passion grew, I found that all of that data could tell those decision-makers so much more. So, after many years of accounting and nearly 20 years as an ERP consultant, I'm now going from being a numbers-nerd, learning how to be a data-geek.


    Just a reminder, our election voting will begin Friday, April 22, 2022, and continue through Saturday, April 30, 2022.  

    All voting will be electronic 

    We will announce new Board Members at the Meeting of the Minds in May.  MOTM 2022

    Jerry Norman and Jim Woodhead are both concluding their terms.  

    Robert Wood
    Kate Krueger
    Karen O'Lane 

    All are continuing service through 2023.

    I cannot comment on a forum without the previous consideration and consent of the nominated candidates '-)

    That being said - we will have a member appreciation event next month (stay tuned) and we can provide more of an introduction to the candidate at that time.
