Annual Reflection and Planning Session: Equity in Data Community of Practice

In this session we will discuss how we can apply what we have learned this year and plan for 2024.

As the year is coming to an end, our Community of Practice is gathering for a special session dedicated to reflection and planning. Join us to discuss how we can apply what we have learned this year and contribute your ideas on the direction of this community in 2024.

About this group:

We are a group of data users in Connecticut who are supporting one another as we work toward more equitable data practices. We focus on racial equity explicitly but not exclusively.

Some of the topics we talk about include:

  • How can we make sure we don't make certain groups invisible through how we disaggregate our data?

  • How can we learn to focus our attention on the strengths, rather than the deficits, of groups we are seeking to serve or support?

  • How can we learn from the people who we hope will benefit from our products or services about what their data means to them?

  • How can we help the institutions that we are part of to be trustworthy so that people will trust us with their information/data?
