Group Q&A 
Before the main presentation, please plan to be a part of our group Q&A session.  During this 15 minute session, we'll open the meeting for any Business Analysis questions, or questions related to the evening's topic. This is your chance to leverage the massive collective experience of the chapter to address questions or problems you are facing as a BA and would like to get the groups input. You may also be the one with just the right piece of information or advice for a question raised to the group.

Message from the Chapter Board 
By Linda Meserve, President opportunity_words.jpg
Summer marks transition for IIBA Denver, and this year is no different for our Board of Directors.  Our by-laws provide for 6 elected positions, each elected for a 2 year term, with terms staggered so that half the directors are new each July.  This approach provides continuity, while adding fresh perspectives to the leadership team each year. Starting July 1, your leadership team will include
  • President - Linda Meserve - Elected through June 2019
  • VP Finance - James Allison - Elected through June 2020
  • VP Education - Tom Vosberg - Elected through June 2019
  • VP Membership - Susan Futey - Elected through June 2020
  • VP Marketing - Alissa Johnson - Elected through June 2019
  • VP Communications - Open - Elected through June 2020
Be sure to congratulate these wonderful volunteers.  Thank you, everyone, for agreeing to serve!

IIBA is a non-profit organization for Business Analyst professionals.  The goal of the local Denver Chapter is to support IIBA by (1) advancing the role of the Business Analyst as a recognized profession, (2) support opportunities for members to network with, and gain knowledge from, seasoned BA practitioners as well as industry and government leaders, (3) provide access for members to a formal "knowledge base" as well as forums for sharing expertise, expressing professional opinions and building a reputation within the industry, (4) provide pathways to learn about business analysis best practices, and (5) obtain and sustain a level of financial security, sustainability, and autonomy at the local level.
