A presidential inauguration. A march (or two, or hundreds). January sure decided to bring it this year in our hometown of Washington DC. As the red and pink hats depart DC, you might think the energy is departing the nation's capital. Oh, my friend, there's much work just getting starting.
Whether you're exhausted or fired up from this weekend's events, take a moment to sit back with this week’s PUB Crawl and slip away into a world where the debate is about counting the number of new features coming soon for the NPSP. Or bugs squashed in the next NPSP release. Or burritos consumed by yours truly in 2016. Seriously, take a moment to recharge the batteries with a cup of coffee and healthy spoonful of Salesforce knowledge.
Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
