Dear Readers, I’ve been the editor of the SAS Business Report for more than a year. Each month, I look forward to the newsletter that I share with you – wondering what piece of news will fill my mind as I sit to write the editor’s note. This month, I’m excited to say that, although I’ll miss this little square, I’m moving to another opportunity within SAS. Beginning Jan. 1, I’ll begin working on
sascom® magazine. Anna Brown, the current editor of SAS Alliance Connection, the www.sas.com homepage, and many of our SAS customer success stories, will become Editor of the SAS Business Report. Please stay in touch with me on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. I’ll be very interested in your ideas for stories for our magazine.
You can follow Anna on Twitter and learn a little about her on LinkedIn.
Waynette Tubbs
Editor, SAS Business Report
