As nonprofits face funding cuts and rising expenses, it is more crucial than ever to have access to accurate data that helps us manage our resources and meet the growing needs in our communities. As the availability and reliability of federal data becomes unpredictable, nonprofit and public sector professionals must think creatively about how to navigate this changing landscape and find partnerships that can help us maximize the resources available.

Join Norwalk ACTS and CTData for a 90-minute in-person event on navigating today’s changing data landscape. Hear from national and local experts, share solutions in small-group discussions, and connect with peers to strengthen our community’s use of reliable data.

During this event, you will hear from Meeta Anand, Senior Program Director for Census and Data Equity at The Leadership Conference Civil and Human Rights, on changes at the federal level and how they may affect data availability at the local level in the future. You will also hear from Brian Meeks (City of Norwalk Program Director of Epidemiology and Informatics) and Bonnie Smith (Weyland Smith Consulting, administrator of the Youth Voices Count tool in Norwalk) about what changes you can expect at the state and local levels.

You will have the chance in small group discussions to share challenges and brainstorm solutions for filling data gaps in your community.

Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, data professional, or simply passionate about evidence-based social change, you’ll gain new insights, valuable resources, and stronger connections. Let’s create a more resilient, informed, and connected data ecosystem.
