This is a quick post in reply to a great question from Sean Alebo, who is a member of our Mac Professionals  Group on Linkedin.

Where are the professional user groups specific to businesses that run on Mac?

Most groups are dominated by individuals chatting about apps and tech support issues, but Sean shared its hard to find a community of businesses and organizations that standardize on Mac and share resources and best practices.

We looked and confirmed Sean’s issue: there’s a LOT of static out there. So here are a few notes on the closest call groups we could find on Linkedin (including one we are trying to promote):
