Start Where You Are: Mapping a Journey Toward Equitable Data Practice

Social sector organizations can increase their impact, both individually and collectively, by strategically engaging with data. At this event, participants will identify specific tools and strategies for utilizing data in collaboration with community partners to advance shared priorities and promote equitable outcomes.

This session will provide multiple opportunities to assess where you are on your journey toward equitable data practice, reflect on where you would like to be, and identify tools for moving you toward your goals. No matter where you are starting, this event is for you!

Presenters will help you identify:

• Your current capacity to utilize data to further your mission and increase your impact
• Your capacity to engage with data in a way that centers equity and builds mutual trust and benefit with clients, community and other stakeholders
• Organizational priorities for future growth in these areas
