Judy Taylour

Helen Seaton, Publicity Director

The Computer Booters Club will meet on Wednesday, Dec. 1. Our speaker, Judy Taylour, will show us how we can Declutter Our Digital Life. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m., and members can attend the talk from home or wherever they choose via Zoom.

Declutter Your Digital Life: You spend a lot of money on your equipment—take care of it, and it will last longer. Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to declutter all things digital? How about doing some digital device spring cleaning; or your computer runs slow and it takes you too long to find a document or email. Judy’s presentation will show you how you can declutter your digital life and be more organized to work faster and smarter.

Judy Taylour is president of the Santa Clarita Valley Computer Club and a member of  the Association of Personal Computer User Groups (APCUG) Speakers Bureau.

Judy is a 34-year member of the Santa Clarita Valley Computer Club, where she serves as president and webmaster. In addition, she was a co-facilitator for the Southern California Regional User Group Summit (SCRUGS), a group of computer clubs in Southern California that met together quarterly for over 20 years, to share ideas and presenter information, solve problems, etc. Along the way, they helped keep two groups active.

She spent 23 years involved with the Southwest Technology Conference held in San Diego for 20 years, and three years at Cal Poly Pomona, serving as co-chair and chair. Every year, she scheduled the speakers and was the volunteer coordinator.
