Racial Profiling in Connecticut: Using Data to Measure and Address DisparitiesSeptember 16, 11:30am-1pm: Across the state, racial disparities in traffic stops remain a key point of strain between communities and law enforcement.

They will examine why skepticism exists, how transparency about data’s limitations matters, and why shared ownership of the work is crucial. Learn about CTRP3 and its efforts to
advance accountability and trust through openness. Sign up for the event here. Learn About Connecticut Geographies with a Census Bureau Expert!September 24, 10:30am-12pm: You might believe Willimatic is just another Connecticut town, but it's actually a borough that sits within the town fo
Windham. These kinds of distinctions can make it harder to track down the right data. In this webinar, U.S. Census Bureau Data Dissemination & GIS Specialist David Kraiker will help you understand the way the Census Bureau categorizes different Connecticut communities and show you how to access data about them using data.census.gov. Register here. September 26, 9:30-11am (New Haven): With nonprofits facing funding cuts and rising expenses, having access to accurate data is crucial for managing resources and meeting the growing needs in our communities. As federal data becomes less predictable and reliable, we, nonprofit and public sector professionals, must think creatively about navigating this changing landscape and find partnerships that can help us maximize the resources
available. During this session, we’ll discuss what's happening at the federal level and how it may impact future data availability. Additionally, Tabitha Sookdeo, Executive Director from CT Students for a Dream, will discuss data collection challenges faced by immigrant populations. Check out resources from our past events on our website. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, data professional, or simply passionate about evidence-based social change, join us to create a more resilient,
informed, and connected data ecosystem in Connecticut. Reserve your spot here. Serving Clients Safely: Data Protection Strategies for Uncertain TimesOctober 7, 12-1pm: Nonprofits are increasingly concerned about how sensitive government and federal data are accessed, and how this may violate laws and regulations while undermining the trust people place in organizations when seeking critical services. How can we provide services without risking people's safety when sharing sensitive information? Building on the Quick Improvements to Data Privacy tip sheet, Dr. Eric Giannella of the Massive Data Institute will share practical safeguards to protect sensitive data without requiring
new technology. He will outline steps for assessing whether certain personal data can be stored separately or made less sensitive while still meeting mission needs, and methods for deciding whether to retain or delete sensitive information to balance program effectiveness with privacy protection. This webinar will be especially helpful for executive directors and program managers,
but it will also benefit anyone who manages client data and needs practical solutions they can share with colleagues. Register here. Get Your Early Bird Tickets for our 2025 CTData Conference!
