What we’re about

The Chicago Suburban SQL User Group is a place for SQL Server and Data Professionals to learn about and share knowledge on a number of topics related to data. We have both in person and virtual meetings.

Code of Conduct for everyone in this group:
Throughout each interaction:

  • Be friendly and welcoming
    • Listen with purpose and create space for others’ communication preferences.
    • Ask yourself how you can make someone's life easier.
  • Be patient
    • Remember that people have varying communication styles and preferences.
    • Recognize that not everyone is using their native language. Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.
  • Be thoughtful
    • Think about how others will interpret your words. Aim for clear and productive communication.
    • Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain from commenting.
  • Be respectful and inclusive
    • Respect differences of opinion.
    • Seek to understand and build bridges, not condemn or criticize.
    • Make a conscious effort to include people who differ from you.
  • Be open and curious
    • Assume good intent and interpret others’ statements or questions in good faith.
    • Ask questions to understand, not denounce.
    • Focus on continuous learning. Improve upon the things you already know, tackle new things, and ask others about their expertise to deepen your own knowledge
