This month, we'll have a presentation on this nifty data appliance and an update on other tech/data projects BikeLoud folks have been working on. Some of this will overlap with the speed camera software we looked at before, and is a good intro to the raspberry pi platform if you've been looking for an excuse to do something with one.

The Transit Appliance is an open source project which makes use of TriMet and other public web services to display transit arrivals on fixed location screens in apartment and office lobbies, cafes, schools and other community locations. The project is hosted by the non-profit Portland Transport and currently operates more than 60 screens around the region.

The project is looking for volunteers to refresh the technology stack for the project and to help find additional community locations for screens. Project leader Chris Smith will describe the technology architecture and social purpose of the project.

This month we'll continue looking at how to enable bikeway audits and organize BikeLoud subgroups around neighborhoods and/or bike routes. How can we use maps and tech to help connect people who ride on a segment with experienced activists?

Social commerce is continuing to grow for merchants worldwide and the need for influencer marketing, sales channel integrations and the ability to link sales to social is more important than ever before!

Deb Mecca, CEO of Causeway 305, has been a master in sales and marketing for the greater part of 20 years. She has a sharp eye for a good brand message and a compelling story. She believes that sales across social is imperative to grow awareness and solidify bottom of funnel sales.

This month we'll be looking at jurisdictional boundaries and election results throughout the metro area. Bikeway connections to Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Gresham, etc all go through county and ODOT jurisdictions, leaving disjoint maintenance schemes, besides bike lanes that end at city limits. How are things changing and what can we do to engage regionally with people who want to ride and build a wider grassroots network?

Please join us on September 21 for the final webinar in our series designed to help HR professionals make benefits decisions and get ready for open enrollment season. This lunchtime presentation and discussion will focus on some of the key regulatory changes and reporting requirements that generate the most questions and take the most time to untangle.

The webinar will cover the following topics:

-What do I need to know about 1094/1095 reporting? -What is the status of the PACE Act and the reclassification of small groups? -Is the Cadillac Tax gone for good? -How will all of the mergers and other market disruptions affect me?

Did you miss our first two sessions on HR Benchmarking & Trends and Innovation and Its Impact in Creating a New World of Healthcare? Recordings of these webinars are available to TAO members for free! Message TAO for a copy of the presentations and recordings.

Attendance of all 3 webinars is not required, so we encourage all HR professionals to join us on September 21st!

Thank you to our sponsors! Regence - https://www.regence.com/web/regence_individual/

Join us remotely early afternoon on Wednesday, August 17th for our second of three webinar series geared to help ease the busy Summer season of benefits decisions. Our lunchtime presentation and discussion will provide HR professionals with a well-rounded panel of speakers sharing innovations that are leading a new world of customized healthcare.

Part two of the series will focus on the role innovation still largely plays in the sometimes more traditional market of healthcare. As the health needs of employees evolve, there is a new baseline expectation of employees to have quick and personalized solutions at their fingertips.

Questions to be answered during this session:

-How do I continue to increase custom value to individual employees across an entire company? -What options are there for increasing employee engagement across multiple channels? -What are different ways that employers are increasing digital access to wellness without compromising privacy?

Speakers and moderator to be announced soon!

Join us on Wednesday, July 20th for our first of three webinar series geared to help ease the busy summer season of benefits decisions. Our lunchtime presentations and discussion will provide HR professionals with a well-rounded panel of speakers reviewing industry benefits.

Part one of the series will focus on benchmarks and trends involving benefit design for HR employees to consider. As the health needs of employees evolve, there is an increase of creativity needed vs. just copying traditional benefit packages from year to year.

Questions to be answered during this session:

-What are the types of alternative benefits that are trending and/or fading? -What kinds of creative examples have employers offered for benefits cost sharing? -What are some of the sharable learning lessons around increasing value of benefits without the cost? -What are examples of the successful companies that are balancing innovative and traditional benefits?
