3 - 5 pm, Crissy Field Center. Do you find data useful? Every year, program staff create reports with huge amounts of data, but where does it go besides supervisors and a filing cabinet? Data is a powerful tool for any program manager looking to enhance the quality and scale of their work. With the creation of PYCcloud.com, PYC can help you understand how to use data you have already been gathering. Come to this mixer and connect with other park staff while learning how the data you share on the Online Portal can help you do amazing things for your programs!
