Agenda
Louise Hadden presented at her first SAS conference in 1996 and has never looked back, presenting at multiple conferences across the continent over the years. She has given over 200 SAS user group presentations! She supports file building and analytic programming for CORMAC, most frequently on contracts with government agencies such as CMS and CDC, and specializes in reporting and data visualization. In her spare time, she reads voraciously, volunteers with the MSPCA, donates platelets with the Red Cross (up to 35 gallons!), and dabbles with photography.
