August 2020 Newsletter
Dear TBM Council Members,
Wherever you are in the world I hope you are keeping safe, happy, healthy, and fully enjoying your summer months. We know that times are tough, and we hope you are able to lean on your peers in our 11,000 member strong Council. If there were any time to be focused on optimizing IT costs through Technology Business Management, it’s now.
We are very proud of the innovation and energy in the events and programs over the past few months. If you missed any of the events, you can find TBM Tuesdays recordings here, and Standards Committee recordings here.
Home Renovation: TBM Connect
The TBM Council team is working behind the scenes on a brand-new platform for TBM Connect. This is where we structure our communities and programs, communicate with you, our members, store and share documents and materials from events & presentations, and offer a place for you to find and engage with your peers. The new platform will allow for easier document and member search, provide new ways to connect with your peers, and help guide you to the information and conversations you are looking for. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey about TBM Connect. We value your input and want to make sure we are enabling you to get the most out of your membership.
