Things We Can Do

Dear Friends and Colleagues, I post this today because action must be taken. Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner has not yet passed a workable budget for Illinois and specifically Chicago Public Schools. If a budget is not passed by early November public education in the city will be negatively impacted in ways that directly impact what and how our children will learn, teachers will lose their jobs and special education will be all but eliminated. Principal Tim Devine of CPS high school Walter Payton speaks much more eloquently than I below is his open letter to the his students and teachers to take action now. Please read below and contact your representatives now. It is important to make our voices heard now. Thank you, -Elena Students, Faculty, and Parents, Thank you all for diving fully into the school year!  It is a joy to be among such dynamic, thoughtful, and purposeful individuals.  I write today to ring an alarm bell.  A serious matter of equity

10 Little Known LinkedIn Features That Can Make A Big Difference Posted on September 1, 2013 by Wayne  Original post by Power Formula 1.  Reorder your profile sections Anytime you are in  Edit Profile and you see the up-down arrow, it means you can move that section. This will help you emphasize the most important aspects of your profile. 2.  Download a list of your entire 1st degree network You can download into a spreadsheet (in either .CSV or .VCF format) a full list of your connections, including their name, current title, current company name, and email address.

If you have not upgraded yet, go to your Contacts and on the bottom right click Export Contacts . 3.  Delete Skills & Expertise entries In Edit Profile ,  just click Edit in
