SharePoint Training
GVEA is moving to an updated form of the platform In order to better facilitate SharePoint usage, multiple options for training are now available. SharePoint will be an integral part of GVEA’s successful move toward modernizing and using new technologies, and migrating away from shared drives and sharefiles. Employees are urged to familiarize themselves with the platform. Training is available via streaming video as well as Teams, which provides employees the opportunity to ask questions. Please contact Stacey Baldridge at smbaldridge@gvea.com if you or your team would like to be trained on SharePoint. The streaming video, along with the training agenda, can be found here: https://bit.ly/3sElkwC.

GVEA Board Room Gets a Makeover A few small, economical changes were made
The GVEA Board Room received some needed upgrades this year. The audio/visual system was upgraded and new lighting was installed. The room also received a fresh coat of paint and new carpet. While it seems that it won’t host many meetings right away, the Board Room will be ready when the time comes. And it can’t come soon enough!
