I work in state government in public health..while i can somewhat see
the utility in having industry specific groups such as (PharmSUG for
pharmaceutical ind..etc), where insiders can swap tips, i personally
would find it useful to be a fly on the wall at such meetings since i
often find the utility of there methods cross industry lines..For
example, i have found proc expand to be useful in my public health
work, which i understand is primarily a financial tool..

thanks, nevin
