Episode 19 - So... What do you do?

1/10/2023

 
Picture
We are kicking off 2023 by talking about the work of building local civic infrastructure in Kenosha County and how it brings people, ideas, and resources together to build stronger communities. So, I am here with Tatjana Bicanin, Kevin Meagher and Felicia Dalton who along with myself make up the staff at Building Our Future.
​
“So... What do you do?"  is one of the most frequent questions asked when having an initial conversation with someone. And in my role at BOF, I realize that we operate in a unique space. It's one of those jobs that requires more explanation! So, I thought it made sense to dedicate an entire podcast episode to explaining the work that we do because the concept is still pretty unique.

Driving Change with Data!

1/5/2023

 
Building Our Future is gauging partner interest in forming a Tableau learning community and we want to hear from you. Tableau is a business intelligence tool that helps people see and understand data. Whether you’re a novice interested in learning the basics or a seasoned user looking to build on your expertise and share your knowledge, let us know! Tableau uses drag and drop technology and can transform spreadsheets into easy-to-understand visuals for quick analysis. It’s how we create all our cool data dashboards!
 
To notify us of your interest in being part of a Tableau learning community, please fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/ipYcnk2mxcUiSqf26
 
For questions, contact Data Manager Kevin Meagher at [email protected]
