Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use and is critical to a successful career.A key goal of our chapter is to provide our members with professional [educational] opportunities which will allow them to grow in the field of business analysis, in their careers and to pass that knowledge onto other business analysts in the St. Louis area. We will accomplish this by focusing on the discipline of business analysis and leadership through study groups, chapter workshops, presentations by experts in the field and formal training events.
