Please join us for our March Membership Meeting as we welcome Dan Allen, Executive Director of CISCO (Construction Industry Service Corporation), as our featured speaker. CISCO’s mission is to strengthen and promote Union construction throughout the Chicago metropolitan area by fostering collaboration between contractors and building trades leadership, serving as a central source of industry information, and advocating for Union construction in both the private and public sectors. Dan will provide timely insight into current market conditions and the important role CISCO plays in enhancing the competitiveness of our industry.
After mastering how to work with a formatted table we move to creating reports from these tables with the pivot tables function. Using the graphic interface, you can create a sophisticated report in minutes. Once the report is created, you can substitute current data to generate the report routinely without starting over again each month.
This session is best for those who want to build collaborative relationships and exemplify trust and respect, including new managers, supervisors and new hires who want to work confidently with others.
