Hi, I'm James Lui, your 2022 OATUG President.
Ascend 2022 was a remarkable achievement brought to fruition by the combined efforts of both staff and volunteers throughout our collective organizations.
It came with the feeling of being Together again - co-workers, friends, teachers, speakers, vendors, the famous and not-so-famous, those in-need, and those who could help.
Making it through the past 3 years by Oracle patchsets and bundles alone would be like saying we made it through because of home test kits
I think we are always stronger together. Figuring out how things work. Why things do what they do. And when things go wrong, how do we overcome our shared challenges.
OATUG and Ascend brought together new alliances and partnerships forming a stronger and more allied community filled with knowledge and ideas.
Most of all, we realized we are still not alone in our everyday challenges, nor our pursuit of joy, even if that means just one more successful upgrade, or one more closed financial period or even a successful open enrollment in spite of all the myriad changes going on in the world.
Just as I said at Ascend - OATUG is your organization. Keep making it work for you and helping you succeed out there. And we'll see you in Orlando in 2023!
James Lui 2022 OATUG President
