NE Ohio IT Collaboration Assessment

After receiving numerous inquiries and requests, we have a few questions to assess whether the NE Ohio IT Community is interested in reestablishing OCITA. Since the pause on OCITA several months ago, there has been a void in idea sharing among neighboring communities and a lack of a local forum for IT discussions and presentations.

Please take a moment to answer the following questions to gauge interest in reviving the OCITA community.
