 Hello, my name is Jade Dean and I am a proud recipient of the Special Session Scholarship for the 2021 school year. I would like to thank the San Jose State University iSchool, Acting Director Dr. Linda Main, the Student Awards and Scholarships Committee, and their co-chairs, Doctors Mary Ann Harland and Mary Kay Bowlin. This award is an honor and will allow me to progress in this program. In my application I presented on an interactive dashboard used to register and collect data for our company's inaugural virtual Young Professional Summit. Young professionals use these summits to network and participate in professional development workshops. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person events were canceled or moved to a virtual platform. And moving the summit online provided a unique opportunity to allow people across North America to attend the event simultaneously. So I joined a six-person team tasked with planning and executing the largest YP Summit in the company's history in four short months. The excitement around the event was so great, we had 700 people register. In order to keep the excitement going, I wanted to create a registration form that could be used to link to a dashboard. 2020 proved to be the year the dashboard, with most people seeing at least one COVID-related dashboard showing infection and mortality rates. I wanted people have a positive experience with dashboards because they are such effective communication tools. To achieve this, I taught myself how to use Survey 123 to create a registration form that would link attendee responses to their office location. Questions included how long they've been with the company versus how long they've been in the industry. The dashboard allows attendees to zoom to their offices while the charts update to display the data in the current map extent. Having a dynamic display of this information allowed attendees to stay excited, interact with each other, and learn about a variety of GIS services we offer. These efforts received excitement and praise from the executive leadership team and then YPs alike. I'm fortunate to be recognized by the Student Awards and Scholarships Committee at San Jose State University High School. Thank you again for choosing me and congratulations to all the other recipients for this award cycle. Thank you.
