DESCRIPTION:TiE Members: FREE  / Public: $25&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhen you are 
 pitching to investors\, they will want to know whether they can trust yo
 u with their money: inevitably you're going to get to the question of wh
 at the financial projections for your business are. When are you going t
 o make money and how much?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOne thing that will be 100% ce
 rtain about your numbers: they will be wrong.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nHowever\, w
 hat is actually more important\, is how you arrived at those numbers. In
 vestors will be more interested in hearing what assumptions you made abo
 ut the number of customers you are expecting to get\, how much it costs 
 to sell to them\, what the costs are of producing your product or servic
 es\, how much staff you will need\, etc. etc. You have to demonstrate th
 at you know your market\, your abilities and the things you will need to
  make your vision a profitable reality.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nFor some entrepre
 neurs\, this is a really daunting topic. However\, you must be able to u
 nderstand your business and the numbers behind it\, before you can convi
 nce anyone else to come along for the ride.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n Join us for 
 TiE Oregon Pitch Club where our July speaker\, Ana Andueza\, will shed l
 ight on how to construct your financial model. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAs a CFO 
 as well as an angel investor\, Ana has broad experience in dealing with 
 startups and finances.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCurrently the CFO at CFO with Crit
 erion Brock\, she is a TiE member\, angel investor\, and vice chair of t
 he OEN's Angel Oregon. Previously she was the chief financial officer fo

DESCRIPTION:# Hack Oregon Spring Buildathon!&#13\;\n&#13\;\n## Presented 
 with The Oregonian and OregonLive&#13\;\n&#13\;\n##What is it?&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nBelieve it or not\, Hack Oregon actually doesn’t really do a lot o
 f Hackathons.  We form specialized teams to build software and open data
  stories for important themes in Oregon\, and work and iterate increment
 ally over months to create a product.  &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe “Buildathon” 
 is the one day where we open up our project teams for guest contributors
  that want to be part of the magic and build something amazing\, but mig
 ht not have the time to participate in our months-long project season.&#
 13\;\n&#13\;\n## What’s the goal?&#13\;\nThe Buildathon is a production 
 sprint.  We’ve laid the groundwork to do research\, visualizations\, and
  data storytelling quickly\, and we need your help to bring our projects
  to the next level.  Be prepared to make friends and be an instant part 
 of our Hack Oregon family!&#13\;\n&#13\;\n## How can I get involved?&#13
 \;\nBy joining our sprint\, you’ll be placed with a team that needs extr
 a hands on deck in your particular skill set.  We’re working toward a pu
 blic demo day in June\, where you can proudly present alongside your tea
 m.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n### Here are the two ways to join the event:&#13\;\n1.
  We have open roles for experienced developers\, creatives\, and multime
 dia storytellers on each team.  If you'd like to join one of the project
  teams for the day\, we'll need to match you with the team that needs yo
 ur skills most and give you an onboarding package. &#13\;\n**[Fill out t
 his inquiry form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TRuG_28QcFlWBcO3LX5gJ
 p9SyqTRidTijjaBCb-Mpd4/viewform) along with your eventbrite RSVP\, and w
 e will be in touch with you shortly!**&#13\;\n2. If you are a new to cod
 ing or want to contribute in a non-tech way\, we have a highly appreciat
 ed team working on research\, fact-checking\, and user testing. &#13\;\n
 **No inquiry form required\, just go ahead and RSVP for &quot\;Research 
 Team&quot\;. ** &#13\;\nWe can't wait to meet you! &#13\;\n&#13\;\n### P

 &#13\;\n&#13\;\n## Project Teasers&#13\;\n&#13\;\n### Food Insecurity: “
 Oregon Hunger Equation”&#13\;\nWhy does Oregon consistently have one of 
 the highest reported rates of food insecurity in the country?  We’re ana
 lyzing links between regional cost of living\, benefit programs\, and lo
 cal school districts to solve for systemic causes of hunger at home.&#13
 \;\n&#13\;\n### Campaign Finance: “Behind the Curtain”&#13\;\nHack Orego
 n has the only machine readable database for local campaign finance in t
 he country.  We’re adding in new meta-data and working on fascinating hi
 gh level view of influence and money in Oregon’s election cycles.&#13\;\
 n&#13\;\n### Urban Development: “Plot PDX”&#13\;\nData can tell us a lot
  about our neighborhoods.  We’re building maps that take a non-typical a
 pproach to hard truths about urban growth\, concentration of wealth\, an
 d the digital divide.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n### Agriculture: “Crop Compass” &#1
 3\;\nIn the Pacific Northwest\, we live in one of the most rich biospher
 es in the world\, with global demand for Oregon grown products. We have 
 the ability to produce a wide range of food in Oregon\, but we’re far fr
 om self-sustaining. How do our economic and environmental factors work t
 ogether to shape our food system?&#13\;\n   &#13\;\n### Education: &quot
 \;Programming for Progress&quot\;&#13\;\nAcross Oregon\, some schools ar
 e lucky enough to have free or low cost summer school programming and/or
  afterschool programming.  How much of a difference can that programming
  make for early literacy\, attendance\, and future academic success of s
 tudents?  What does could this say about Oregon’s statewide performance\
 , and especially those districts facing higher poverty?&#13\;\n&#13\;\n#

DESCRIPTION:Agile Finance for Agile IT:&#13\;\nHow trends in IT pose chal
 lenges to traditional acquisition models and accounting methods and what
  to do about it&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThursday&#13\;\nAugust 25\, 2016&#13\;\n1
 0:00am PST&#13\;\n&#13\;\nRecent trends in IT like mobile and cloud comp
 uting\, and Internet of Things\, are creating pressure on IT organizatio
 ns to respond to the demands of the business in ever shrinking planning 
 and implementation cycles.  In the era of agile IT\, the infrastructure 
 is only as nimble as the least agile component and that typically is the
  network.  The challenge of creating agile systems on legacy networks is
  compounded by the constraints of legacy acquisition models and accounti
 ng methods which force IT to estimate the future needs of the business i
 n 3 to 5 year intervals.  Finance should be an enabler to creating agile
  IT systems that deliver the most value to the organization by ensuring 
 the network’s capability matches the immediate needs of the business wit
 hout network resources sitting idle or being overly constrained due to p
 oor planning.&#13\;\nPlease join us for a webinar hosted by Greg Buchana
 n\, Sr. Manager in Brocade’s office of the CFO\; and David Aden\, Territ
 ory Manager for Oregon and SW Washington at Brocade\, to discuss how bus
 inesses can better equip Finance to help IT meet the demands of the New 
 IP.\n\nTags: it\, finance\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/

DESCRIPTION:Want to take your career to the next level?&#13\;\nPractical\
 , Hands-on Training for Advanced Excel Formulas &amp\; Functions&#13\;\n
 &#13\;\nMicrosoft Excel is perhaps the most important computer software 
 program used in business today. That's why so many workers and prospecti
 ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp
 lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio
 nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers 
 are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir
 e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne
 ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun
 d it.”&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa
 rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil
 led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore
 casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro
 duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag
 ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past 
 results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales
  data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia
 nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c
 osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur
 e. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand
 .&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIn essence\, you can turn an entire department around j
 ust because you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate
  view.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAdvanced functi
 ons and formulas&#13\;\n     * Logical functions&#13\;\n     * Condition

 ;\n     * Working with VBA code&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBENEFITS&#13\;\nNot only 
 are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday function
 al tasks in the workplace\, an increasing number of employers rely on Ex
 cel for decision support.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill
  that helps you make better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top
  tools for data analysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the 
 most popular analytic tool.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT&#1
 3\;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are d
 iving deeping when it comes to determining which candidate to interview 
 and hire. They look for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Condition
 al Formatting\, Charting and Filtering…These are far more telling of you
 r ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\
 , Pivot Table\, Filtering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so
  has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager re
 viewing your resume. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Res
 ume!&#13\;\n&#13\;\nINCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL&#13\;\nDid you know 
 that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as
  your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring ma
 nager understands is critical.&#13\;\nResearch shows job applicants who 
 know MS Excel make $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per
  hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an ext
 ra $20 per eight-hour workday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowin
 g how to use a single computer program. Moreover\, full-time employees i
 n certain industries can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\
 ,000 to $7\,000 per year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump c
 hange you can ignore.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR?&#13\;\nA ma
 jority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business.
  How will you stay organized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if
  you’re not spreadsheet-savvy?&#13\;\nMany millennials simply want their
  first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you? Th
 e biggest complaint employers have about millennials is that they lack b
 asic hard and soft skills.These skills include things like teamwork and 
 problem solving\, but also basic administrative skills like MS Word and 
 Powerpoint. Once you’re hired\, you want to meet the basic requirements 
 of your role without stressing.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR&#13\

 you to manipulate vast amounts of data\, automate tasks and present comp
 lex information however you see fit. According to Payscale\, “80 percent
  of job openings require spreadsheet and word-processing software skills

 ng a macro&#13\;\n     * Working with VBA code&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIf you wal
 k through the finance or accounting department at any major corporate of
 fice\, you will see computer screens filled with Excel spreadsheets outl
 ining financial results\, budgets\, forecasts\, and plans used to make b
 ig business decisions. Marketing and Product professionals using Excel t
 o list customer and sales targets\; managing thier sales force and plann
 ing future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickl
 y and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick 
 drag-and drop. HR professionals using giant spreadsheets full of employe
 e data and understand exactly where the costs are coming from and how to
  best plan and control them for the future. Supply logistic professional
  to manage inventory and forecasts demand.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIn essence\, y
 ou can turn an entire department around just because you know how to man
 ipulate data in order to get an aggregate view.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nABOUT THE

 our ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKU

DESCRIPTION:We know that investors often look for patterns\, referrals an
 d pedigree to make the investment process efficient\, safely fitting int
 o established norms.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe unintended consequence is that b
 rilliant founders without the right connections are often passed over. T
 his expresses itself in many ways but often we see that LGBTQIA+\, Black
 \, Latinx\, and Native American founders are largely left out of the VC 
 ecosystem.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nToday\, companies are creating specific\, appl
 ication based\, Opportunity Funds - their goals being inviting more unde
 rrepresented founders into the global ecosystem. This looks like a diver
 se Investment Committee that includes members from both inside and outsi
 de of the investment institution\, the goal being to review at early sta
 ge investments alongside growth investments.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe result? 
 Underestimated founders have access to direct capital.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nJo
 in StartOut Founders\, Morrison &amp\; Foerster\, and Bank of America/Me
 rrill Lynch as we discuss how investors set up these kinds of funds\, wh
 at current programs look like\, how to maintain these funds\, and how to

  virtual event**&#13\;\n&#13\;\nA new year is upon us and with that ofte

 deral Credit Union for industry tips exploring the basics of getting you
 r finances in order.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nDuring the first half of the present
 ation\, we’ll share how to build a plan for getting out of debt and how 
 to save in ways that fit your budget. . The second half of the presentat
 ion will focus on ways to secure your financial future that go beyond sa
 ving a little bit every month.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe recognize that not ever
 yone has had the opportunity or means to save\, and that the financial s
 ector has historically been set up to benefit existing racial and class 
 hierarchies. We will spend some time touching on these important themes\
 , and the myths that back them\, during the event.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAgenda
