2025-2026 Steering Committee

The PDS UGA Steering Committee represents the Vista® user community and works to gather product feedback throughout the year. The committee meets monthly and works closely with the PDS Executive, Development, and Services teams to stay in touch with company, product and service strategies. PDS is very proud to say that our User Group Association is the longest running user group in the HR, payroll, benefits software industry!

What Customers Say

 

“Once again the PDS UGA conference was filled with engaging sessions, fun times, wonderful hotel and great food. It says something about the conference when asked at the closing session for attendees to raise their hand if they learned something new and everyone did!


-Barbara Cobb, Lee County Clerk of Courts
