NAYGN in Action – At the 2014 NAYGN Annual Conference, Shonique Miller won the first NAYGN Innovation Competition with her idea of an industry‑wide knowledge transfer platform - “the Hub.” In short, The Hub is envisioned as an online repository for video tutorials, message forums, interactive OE, and virtual networking and collaboration with Subject Matter Experts across the industry. Shonique is presenting the Hub to industry executives at the NSIAC meeting on December 11. The near-term plan is to assemble an industry-wide Task Force to define the resources and process to develop the Hub. As a new and innovative grassroots initiative, the Hub needs support and advertisement from NAYGN members. Please contact vp@naygn.web.zuul.work for more information about the Hub or to become involved with the planning.
