Program MeetingsAABPA maintains an active series of brownbag lunch programs featuring experts in public budgeting and program analysis. The programs are designed to impart specialized and highly practical knowledge on complex budget/policy issues, and to give AABPA members a chance for direct and informal contact with colleagues and with recognized authorities in the field. CPE credits are available for our monthly programs, as well as the seminars. We welcome suggestions for future programs. Please send them to aabpa@aabpa.org. The President's Budget Proposal
Stan Collender Qorvis Communications * Capital Gains and Games Wednesday, February 15, 12PM Ford House Office Building, RM 108 3rd and D Streets, SW, Federal Center SW Metro
Stan Collender, who writes the very popular Capital Gains and Games, a partner at Qorvis Communications, and someone who is always a popular attraction at AABPA symposia and conferences, will join us in February to share his thoughts about the President's 2013 budget and other fiscal developments. Stan will offer his thoughts on what the budget plan may mean for budget planners, policy-makers, and anyone interested in where America is going financially. Join us on February 15th for what will surely be an engaging and informative lunch session. Visualizing Data We are surrounded by more data than ever before and there are more ways to make and get it. In a single day, we create 1.5 billion pieces of content on Facebook, 140 million Tweets, and 2 million videos on YouTube. Visualizations (infographics) are a mix of design, analysis, journalism, and statistics that are perfect for the age of big data. And infographics are a growing medium: In 2007 there were 61 infographics on Digg.com; by 2010 the number had risen to 2,745.
