Dear Readers,

The most important thing that I need you to do this month is read this short letter from the SAS Users Group Support Team. They've got the scoop on the upcoming SAS Fall user's conferences.

After that, it's time to sit back and read your September SAS Tech Report. There are some very interesting pieces for you this month: Are you thinking about moving up? Definitely read the article about Evolving IT Job Titles! And, many of you will be interested in the Introduction to Applied Econometrics class.

Send me an e-mail to let me know what you liked best about this month's edition.
