July 2019
01/ Communications Dashboard

During the month of July, the amount of new users, meaning people who have never been on the site, increased by 2% when compared with July 2018. The amount of users in general increased by 2% as well, which means more people are using the site this summer. The average session duration, which is the amount of time each user spends on the site, decreased by about 10%, and the pageviews, which is the total amount of views the site received, increased by 34%. The improvement will hopefully continue in 2019 as more events are scheduled and more blogs are posted. Innovate New Albany continues to send the weekly newsletter, which contains upcoming TIGER events and blog posts, that brings traffic to the Innovate New Albany website.

Wright Stuff Aircraft Dispatcher School is a startup education business established to prepare students to pass the FAA Professional Dispatcher Licensing Exam and become highly effective professional flight dispatcher.  One of the school’s co-founders is New Albany resident Adam Beckman who also serves as a Lecturer at The Ohio State University.
Wright Stuff’s mission is to provide the highest quality dispatch training. Training is designed to far exceed the one-week “crash” courses frequently offered by others educators serving this profession.  Wright Stuff is proud of its thorough test preparation and the completeness of the education it delivers.
Wright Stuff will be conducting classes on Monday and Tuesday evenings at Innovate New Albany, starting Monday August 5, 2019.  Soon, Wright Stuff plans to run classes in metro areas across the US.  And ultimately, Wright Stuff intends to deliver education in an online format.
