Thank you for your support and participation in the fast-paced IT Service Management Best Practices Community!

I’m pleased to invite you to please join our LinkedIn ITSMF group at LinkedIn ITSMF Group, and contact me for more information on how to get involved. We need 2 board members and Committee idea people. Please join us or nominate a member of your team to participate in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area IT Service Management Forum Local Interest Group. 

We require a minimum of 2 more board members for relaunching our forum for post COVID Networking to help us showcase the best of Silicon Valley Innovation in a Post Covid World. The biggest focus is member value with meaningful Zoom meetings.   When the COVID pandemic slows, we will revisit local meetings again, however right now, we are expanding our value and partnering in delivering best IT Service Management Forum events and best practices panels worldwide, from Zoom or Bright Talk Conference events.

Some of the ways our local chapter activities will change to support our current post COVID membership needs includes increased member opportunity to participate in discussion and white paper topic creation, as well as to participate in career advancement and job opportunity related networking segments:

• Local Trends and ITSM Topics of member relevance
• Showcase San Francisco:  Highlights the ITSM leaders in the bay area, and what their strategies for success are
• Community White Paper Collaboration Events
• Global IT Service Management Panel Best Practice Focus Events

Members of the Silicon Valley IT Service Management Forum have a unique networking opportunity to be aware of current trends and challenges, to create a forum for professional development, and continue to shape the IT Service Management industry.

To relaunch San Francisco Bay Area (Silicon Valley) best practices, we need member volunteers with ideas to help determine how we evolve new IT Service Management.
