Background:

TSSG Purpose: We Help You Answer The Question - What have you been doing since your last job?

TSSG Mission: Technical Skills Share Group (TSSG) is a volunteer organization created for technical professionals in-transition or enthusiasts seeking peer-based active learning. We develop mobile, web and data analytics applications with the purpose of keeping members current in the latest software technologies.

TSSG Website Purpose: Enable fast access to information about TSSG to those who may want to join.

TSSG Website Development Mission: Create a site that has a responsive design, is graphically appealing and is concise in content.  It must communicate only enough information to reach the right audience on the right devices.  It must be low-maintenance for TSSG. 

TSSG Website Development Goal: Enable TSSG to almost effortlessly advertise within known channels of interest - Meetup, Acton Networkers Group (ANG) and Hopkinton Networkers Group (HNG). 

note: We know Acton Networkers Group is willing to put up an easel weekly with our website address.
