Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are next week's upcoming Networking Events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least one or two meetings a week, what you learn there will definitely help shorten your time in transition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so it will not take time away from your daily job search activities.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going to school, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gaining knowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standout from your competition.
In traveling to these meetings, consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of driving there, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting that you would like to share with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it in the weekly updates. Also, if any transition support group would like to receive this list of networking events, let me know and it will be my pleasure to add your group to the distribution list.
Thank you,
Tom Donohue

to our

*Register today to take advantage of the rare opportunity to learn about
the future of Business Intelligence and Big Data directly from Microsoft's
own, Rajeev Chakrabarti! As we can see in our various industries,
data can drive strategic decision-making if companies have the tools to

learn about a powerful new tool called "Power BI for Office 365" from the

*Event Details*:
Businesses today are feeling the impact of some important trends that are
converging in the enterprise: the growth of cloud services, a marked
increase in data volume and processing needs, and employee demand for more
simplified, intuitive connections with that data.
In response to these trends, Microsoft has created Power BI for Office 365,
a solution which dramatically reduces the barriers for businesses of all
sizes to use and deploy self-service BI tools.
This presentation will cover how:
- Power BI for Office 365 brings self-service BI solutions to everyday
business users through the familiar tool they already use - Excel
- "Power Query" helps customers easily discover, access, and combine
their data
- "Power Map" allows users to create rich 3D geospatial visualizations
in Excel
