Data Analytics Virtual Tessitura Users Group (VTUG)

All,

As many of you may be aware, I'm interested in "lighting up data" to help cultural non-profits meet budget and deliver on mission.  In the New York Area, I am super lucky to have many opportunities to meet with Data Scientists, Analysts, Machine Learning Experts from many organizations. These interactions have been both encouraging, and have helped me learn a lot.  Most of the folks I meet are not from cultural non-profit organizations. Most are from large financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, internet startup or academic organizations.

What I feel I'm missing, is consistent opportunities to meet with, learn from, and encourage other Cultural Non-Profit data leaders like each of you.

Over the past few years, I've been interested in more regularly participating in data analytics conversations with my Tessitura Colleagues.  

With that in mind, I'd like to invite each you to a conversation about forming a Data Analytics Virtual Tessitura Users Group (VTUG) within our community.

To gauge interest, and maybe start a bit of planning, I'd like to invite each of you to join me for a formation meeting this coming week.

I've arranged a Go To Meeting conference bridge but, I'd like to know when folks could meet.  So, I've set up a doodle poll to find the most convenient moment for many of us.

Looking forward to a great conversation.
