SUMMARY:Family Code Night
DESCRIPTION:Come join Virginia’s First Lady\, Pam Northam\, and CodeVA for Family Code Night at the Main Branch Library in Richmond\, VA. CodeVA has partnered with California based nonprofit Family Code Night to bring a quick and easy way for parents and kids to try out computer science. \nAt Family Code Nights\, parents pair up with their children to do their first hour of coding\, together. The effect is amazing: big turnouts\, great fun\, inspiration – plus the personal engagement of happy\, motivated parents\, a unique and largely untapped force in K-8 computer science education. The community shares this delightful evening experience and is left eager for more\, at school and at home. \nFamily participation is a simple but profound innovation in this event – it changes the trajectory of a child’s computer-science learning\, and the family’s appreciation and support for that learning. The result is a powerfully mobilized community and new momentum and direction to drive future computer science learning.

SUMMARY:12th Annual HIGHER Ground Women's Leadership Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Collective Action: Shifting the Leadership Culture \nMost leadership journeys begin with an emphasis on self—self-discovery\, self-development\, self-mastering\, and self-actualization. When we shift our focus to link with others\, our scope of influence expands outward. In that effort\, we reorient ourselves towards a dynamic network of leaders emboldened by a shared purpose. The 12th Annual HIGHER Ground Women’s Leadership Conference examines the experiences of all women on the personal and professional spectrum by providing a space where we can translate the contributions of self to wider society. This year’s theme\, The Power of Collective Action: Shifting the Leadership Culture\, provides a game plan for capitalizing on our unique strengths for communal action. Changing the leadership culture requires challenging traditional interpretations of leadership. Together\, we aim to move from a singular focus of individual development to a more global strategy that builds equity\, access\, and advancement for all—whether in the workplace\, our homes\, or our communities. With an intentionality to leverage the power of our connectedness\, we move toward the benefits of a collective being. \n  \nAs a leading scholar\, researcher\, speaker\, and international cross-cultural training consultant\, Dr. Gloria Bonilla-Santiago brings over 25 years of experience in program development and innovation\, social entrepreneur\, research\, fundraising\, strategic planning\, school development and leadership training. She writes and speaks widely on the areas of community development\, public policy\,  school leadership and education\, migration\, diversity management and\, organizational leadership.

SUMMARY:Azure Durable Task Framework with Travis Stokes
DESCRIPTION:Connecting the Dots: Using the Durable Task Framework to Simplify Asynchronous Services \nMicrosoft’s Durable Task Framework is an exciting new way to manage cloud based asynchronous processing. Previously\, attempts at coordinating parallel tasks or multi-step asynchronous workflows was a major pain that involved setting up various queues\, orchestration logic\, load balancing\, event management\, status checking\, and a whole host of other plumbing. The Durable Task Framework aims to abstract a lot of these hassles and simplify many common asynchronous patterns like fan-out/fan-in\, function chaining\, and event based workflows. \nIn this talk\, we’ll cover the basic components of the Durable Task Framework\, how they interact with the existing Azure Functions framework\, and how the framework can be leveraged\, with surprisingly little code\, to easily implement some of these common patterns. By the end of the presentation\, participants will know how to create and invoke orchestration and activity functions\, implement fan-in/fan-out and function chaining patterns\, and utilize status response generation to easily enable status monitoring and event invocation.

SUMMARY:Richmond Sharepoint Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Synergy Technical is an industry-leading Microsoft partner\, delivering comprehensive cloud solutions that meet the needs of today’s highly connected and interactive organizations. We are a Microsoft Gold Cloud Platform Partner\, as well as a certified Cloud Deployment partner. Our portfolio includes Office 365 (Exchange Online\, SharePoint Online\, and Skype for Business)\, custom web application development\, integration and maintenance\, as well as Azure Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service. \nTopic: The Modern UX is SharePoint’s Future \nThe game has changed and SharePoint’s Modern user experience is here to stay.  Companies using SharePoint Online may have found it frustrating over the past three years as Microsoft has slowly built a completely and dramatically new user interface for SharePoint\, and deployed it piecemeal alongside the old Classic user experience.  But today\, the Modern UX is complete and ready for business\, and it continues to get better and better\, offering features and experiences that users of the Classic UX can only dream of.  It’s also no longer just for the cloud version of SharePoint\, as SharePoint Server 2019 brings the Modern UX to the on-prem world as well. \nClassic isn’t going anywhere—in the near future\, at least—but Modern is here and it’s the future\, so if your company uses SharePoint\, you need to know what the Modern UX is\, how it’s different from Classic\, and what you’ll need to do to begin taking advantage of it.  We hope you’ll join us as we discuss these and a few related topics.​ \nSpeaker: Brandon Murray \nBrandon Murray is a Solutions Architect with Synergy Technical in Richmond\, Virginia.  He has worked with SharePoint since the ancient days of MOSS 2007\, specializing in using SharePoint as a platform to design and build solutions to business needs.  As a consultant who started in SharePoint Server then transitioned to SharePoint Online\, Brandon has had a front-row seat as the tech world experienced a dramatic shift in recent years from the classic on-prem model to what Microsoft has dubbed a “mobile-first\, cloud-first” model.  Despite the incredible potential in today’s technologies\, complexity and challenges remain\, and Brandon has used his unique background to help his clients bridge the gap between the business and technology worlds. \nBrandon currently lives in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley with his wife\, Colleen\, and four kids.​ \n

Internationally sought after diversity consultant Tiffany Jana offers concrete ways for anyone to work against institutional bias no matter what their position is in an organization. \nWhile it is easy to identify intentionally built systems of oppression like Jim Crow or the paralysis caused by the glass ceiling for women in the workplace\, confronting systems that perpetuate subtle\, unconscious bias is much harder. Erasing Institutional Bias will help people tackle structural bias regardless of their positional power. Eliminating systemic bias can seem an insurmountable task from the vantage point of an ordinary individual\, yet Jana and Mejias empower readers to recognize that each of us has the ability to affect systemic bias through a deliberate\, coordinated effort. Institutional bias afflicts all industries –including business\, education\, health care\, government\, tech\, the arts\, nonprofits\, and finance and banking. Among the types of institutional bias addressed are hiring bias\, gender bias\, racial bias\, occupational bias\, and customer bias. Jana and Mejias focus their attention on bias in the workplace and give readers practices and activities to create organizational trust to challenge these implicit biases. Erasing Institutional Bias will help people recognize that each of us has the power to affect systemic bias. Each of us can evaluate our own current role in perpetuating systemic bias and define our new role in breaking down systemic bias.

Join us as we hear from some of Richmond’s corporations on how they encourage innovation amongst a generation filled with creative minds. \nSponsored By:  \nTHIS EVENT: \nParks should connect people. As head of the BridgePark project\, Ted Elmore\, will explore his novel idea of turning a downtown bridge\, designed for automobiles\, into a park. He outlines how designing with the community is bringing neighbors closer and making a “bold idea even bolder.” \nTed and his team met with hundreds of community members to solicit ideas and feedback on the idea of a BridgePark across the James. In May 2014\, they hired local engineering firm\, The Timmons Group\, and local architecture firm\, Spatial Affairs Bureau\, to examine the community’s input and then collect data and analyze the proposed BridgePark site with that advice in mind. The study considers the existing conditions and opportunities provided by the natural landscape\, alongside the stated wants and needs of the community. \nHear his story\, see his vision\, and be a part of the change in RVA.

We’re bringing together pros from the Richmond design community to share their tips and techniques on how to succeed in a constantly evolving field.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: September 27\n5:30 PM – 7:30PM \nWhere: Carmax Downtown\n140 Virginia St\nRichmond VA 23219 \nCost: Free! \nRegister: Eventbrite link here \nHere are this month’s speakers:\nTerry Peters |  Experience Director: ICF Olson\nTalk:\nCommunicating Design \nDesign is a complex process composed of many smaller activities: listening\, analyzing\, evaluating\, brainstorming\, synthesizing\, experimenting\, composing\, describing\, discussing\, exploring\, reacting\, and countless others. Documenting is not one of these activities\, but engaging in any of these activities yields artifacts—diagrams\, notes\, sketches\, lists\, inventories\, annotations\, and larger documents—that result from the act of performing the task. At the same time\, each task requires inputs\, and these artifacts that come from doing design are the same things that can help feed the design process. The success of the task directly relates to the quality of the inputs and may be measured on the quality of its outputs. So how does one effectively make use of these to communicate the fruits of their labors? \nBio:\nTalented user experience leader with 12 years of proven experience in the development and implementation of enterprise digital strategies\, user-centered research and systems design with clients such as AARP\, Annie E.
