Alliance (PPA) and Dan Rappoport, a bicycle touring enthusiast and
longtime volunteer with PPA, have again joined forces for five
consecutive single-day (loop) bicycle tours of the New Jersey
Pinelands. The goal is twofold: to highlight the natural and
historic features of the 1 million acres of the Pinelands, and to
encourage New Jersey residents to get out and explore this unique
environment.
Bicycle enthusiasts and Pinelands enthusiasts are invited to
participate! The Tour de Pines will begin on Wednesday,
October 1 at PPA's Bishop Farmstead in Southampton Township, traverse
the length and breadth of the Pinelands National Reserve, and culminate
at the Pinelands Discovery Festival at Whitesbog Village on Sunday,
October 5. Each day's loop tour will range from approximately 40-50
miles per day, with average speeds of 11-13 mph. The Tour de Pines
is a voluntary, non-competitive, unsupported ride. Participants are
required to provide their own transportation, food and lodging (cue
sheets provided to registrants). This is a FREE EVENT. Registration
deadline is September 26. Click

Visualize Your Organization and Compliance Data -
1 p.m. - Free webcast - A case study presentation from the New York Power
Authority -
Today, more than
ever,
maintaining accurate workforce information and the method by which
companies manage the process is critical. Because of manual processes,
data inaccuracy and lack of visibility to that data, procedures are
fundamentally flawed. Couple that with a lack of alignment between
company strategy and
structure
and you set yourself up for FERC, NERC and SOX compliance risks, as well
as financial losses and security vulnerabilities. Utilizing a basic
business tool like the automated org chart is a step in the right
direction.
Register Here for this Free WebCast.
This
webinar will feature the team from New York Power Authority and how they
not only stay FERC compliant but have taken their workforce data
management to a new level within the organization.
