NE Florida Counts Lunch & Learns planned

Jun 6, 2011  •   Written by Erin Petrie   •  no comments

A Lunch & Learn is available to those interested in learning to maximize their use of the new community dashboard site NE Florida Counts. The first one will be in Jacksonville from Tuesday June 14 through Thursday June 16, at the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Lunch & Learns are a 3-day series, from 12-1 each day. The first two days will be used to show attendees how to navigate through the site and get the most of all of the features, while the third day will be used to complete “real world” scenarios.

Space is available for up to 35 people. Participants are encouraged to attend all three days to get the most out of the series. Participants will also need to bring their own laptops.

Future Lunch & Learns are planned for St. Johns County the last week of June and Volusia County in mid-July. Details on those events will be released soon.

To RSVP, contact Amanda Herring at Amanda_herring@hpcnef.org or 904.723.2162 x144.
