Tableau User Group Leader Eligibility

Before you apply to start a Tableau User Group or join an existing TUG Community Group's leadership team, there are a few items you will need to verify at a minimum:

  • You are active in the Tableau ecosystem and are excited to create an environment to promote sharing and learning with other customers.
  • You have knowledge in the type of Tableau User Group you'd like to lead. This doesn't mean you're an expert, but you have the enthusiasm to learn more and the reach to bring knowledge experts to your meetings.
  • You have checked the current Tableau User Group directory to verify that the group you wish to start doesn't already exist, and that there isn't already another group within a the same city (Exception: different group types may exist in the same region or region-specific circumstance that would warrant an exception to the proximity rule). The TUG Community Team will verify this information in the application process.
  • You will be able to host at least four useful, informative, and fun virtual or in-person meetings a year.
  • You will encourage members of your community to network, learn, share and collaborate.
  • You reside or work in the location of your proposed Tableau User Group.
  • You're ready to have fun and ensure your members are having fun as well.
  • Salesforce/Tableau Employees may not apply 
  • Groups cannot have all leaders be from the same company 
  • If you're a government employee, you've returned to Tableau the signed clearance from your employer.
