DataBasic Suite Focus Group

For Nonprofit Leaders: Join Us As We Shape the Future of Data for Nonprofits in Massachusetts

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are pleased to invite you participate in an intimate focus group for select nonprofit C-suite executives as part of a “Good Data” grant from Stanford University. Join us for a hands-on opportunity to think about building a culture of data in your organization. This gathering, co-hosted by The MIT Center of Civic Media, the Emerson College Engagement Lab, and TNB Labs is focused on exploring how to foster a culture of data in non-profit organizations through lightweight, interactive activities in which everyone across the organization can participate. This is an event for techno-phobes and techno-philes, and for everyone in between.

Your participation in this focus group will help inform a free, online “Data Culture for Non-Profits” toolkit that we will be offering to organizations across the globe in the future. Locally, your input will influence the future of data practices in the public sector here in the greater Boston area.

During our facilitated small-group activities you will

• Learn about Databasic.io - four free, online tools that your organization can start using immediately.

• With other executive leaders, reflect on your organization's current data practices and brainstorm how to foster a more robust data culture.

• Learn, through hands-on experience, how to help your staff have fun while working with data

The doors will open at 8:45 am. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.

We anticipate that seats will fill up fast, so please reserve yours soon! In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions to Becky Michelson, (Project Manager, The Engagement Lab): becky@elab.emerson.edu.
