It's been a busy last 2 days! 😀 We started our Thursday with a VIA Member 411- a classic but favorite of our events! We love sharing all the exciting things coming up on the event calendar... from new training to a Women of the VIA breakfast to Greater Chicago Advanced Manufacturing Partnership's new fundraiser, there's lots of fun ways to get involved: https://lnkd.in/gMdfEFyA Then we hosted our Executive Collective group last night with LMI Chicago facilitating... we can't believe our inaugural group is already halfway through the year! We've loved hearing about the support and insights the group is sharing with one another. This Friday morning, we kicked off our brand new Microsoft Excel series. Level 1 on Basics and Fundamentals of Excel is already off to a rocking start, and even as Excel users we learned a lot. If you're like our team and want to improve your Excel skills, check out the next class on our calendar. So excited to be collaborating on this opportunity with Waubonsee Community College. With a busy rest of July coming up, we can't wait to recharge this weekend and see many of you next week! We'd love to see you at an event soon: https://lnkd.in/gMdfEFyA #manufacturing #events
