Google Analytics is undoubtedly one of the most powerful web analytics packages out there.  We’ll teach you how to use web analytics reports to understand the performance of your web site and how it relates to your organizational goals. We'll look at who your web site visitors are, where they come from, and what they’re doing on your site. You'll leave this Maven Lunch with tips and tricks and resources you can use right away, regardless of your skill level.

Presentation by:
Michael J. Nedell.
Michael has a degree in Computer Science and as much as he has tried to leave technology for a more artistic life, he is drawn time and time again into the fold of bits and bytes. After creating a successful online business he took a position at New Breed Marketing - a Winooski marketing company - as their New Media Strategist, specializing in Search Engine Optimization and site usability. He knows where you clicked.

ANTI-RACISM & BUILDING A SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT
The Vermont Workers' Center is coordinating a series of full day anti-racism workshops for community members.  It is a workshop meant for anyone actively engaged in efforts for social change (or would like to be). Each of these one-day workshops will explore institutional racism, white privilege, and how people, especially white people, can put this analysis into practice to build powerful, multiracial movements for justice.  Workshops will be held through October and November.
