Oracle Applications Users Group Salutes Meeting Expectations, Inc.

May 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Meeting Expectations, Inc., the Atlanta-based meeting planning and association management company, was recently honored by its client of 18 years, the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) with an OAUG Service Award. Meeting Expectations provides the executive leadership and professional staffing for the non-profit users group, and is also its conference management provider, staging a large annual conference for several thousand attendees as well as numerous year-round regional events.

The OAUG is a global organization that enhances the capabilities of real Oracle users in their day-to-day use and management of the growing family of Oracle Applications. Formed in 1990, the OAUG is one of the software industry's most successful user groups.

At the organization’s twentieth anniversary celebration, held during its April conference in Las Vegas, with over 600 OAUG members and attendees looking on, OAUG President David Ferguson saluted this productive working relationship and presented a crystal trophy to Meeting Expectations Founder Jalene Bermudez, President and Managing Partner Brian Meyer and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Rausch. The trophy is inscribed, “OAUG Service Award Presented to Meeting Expectations: In Grateful Appreciation  for Your 18 Years of Outstanding  Service and Devotion to the Membership of the Oracle Applications Users Group, 1992 – 2010.”

“It’s an honor and a source of great pride that our client, the OAUG, chose to recognize our company with this service award and an incredibly moving presentation,” Brian Meyer said. “The honor of serving this association, which educates and empowers so many around the globe to achieve their business goals, is completely ours.  We look forward to many more years of successful partnership.”

Board Member Anne Ristau remarked, “I have had the privilege of working directly with Meeting Expectations since 1992. Meeting Expectations ‘gets it’ – they realize that when our association succeeds, Meeting Expectations succeeds too!  In the glory years, we shared the profits; during the recession, we shared the pain of losses. Each and every person who represents Meeting Expectations and the Oracle Applications Users Group, both employees and suppliers, has the utmost integrity, which shines through in all aspects of conference planning and delivery as well as association management…I thank Meeting Expectations for 18 years of a great partnership. I look forward to the next 18.”
