SFPASS is a local chapter of the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS).
The Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) is an independent,
not-for-profit association, dedicated to supporting, educating, and
promoting the Microsoft SQL Server community. From local user groups
and special interest groups (SIGs) to webcasts and the annual PASS
Community Summit – the largest gathering of SQL Server professionals in
the world – PASS enables knowledge sharing, in-depth learning, access
to the Microsoft SQL Server team, and the ability to influence the
direction of SQL Server technologies.
PASS was founded in 1999 by Microsoft and CA and continues to enjoy
executive level endorsement from both organizations. As the number one
user community for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft looks to the PASS
community for valued feedback, input, and inspiration.
