The IM Skillset and Training Resources Group is working to identify these critical areas of expertise, and to identify appropriate training resources to help ensure that new Information Managers have the skills that they need. At the same time, the working group recognizes that current Information Managers may be interested to acquire new skills in light of evolving technology, or to introduce new or improved tools or procedures into the information management system at their site. To help us identify and work toward developing training that would be most beneficial to our community, we are asking for your assistance by completing a very brief survey concerning skills or technologies in which you would be most interested to possibly receive training.<br><br>Please find a link to the survey <a href="https://asu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bwqsynbZIviCsHr" target="_blank">here</a>, or paste the following URL into a browser. You will have an opportunity at the end of the survey to provide your name if you are open to discussing your interests and selections in greater detail with members of the working group, but your survey responses are otherwise anonymous.<br><br><a href="https://asu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bwqsynbZIviCsHr" target="_blank">https://asu.co1.qualtrics.com/<wbr>jfe/form/SV_bwqsynbZIviCsHr</a><br><br><br>Thank you in advance from your colleagues on the the IM Skillset and Training Resources Group.<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail-m_4900353139902693928gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>Stevan Earl</b></span><br>Information Manager, Central Arizona<span>–</span>Phoenix LTER
