Tomorrow! Bridging Data Gaps and Building Community Connections (New Haven)

Join Scott Gaul from Connecticut's Office of Policy and Management, Tabitha Sookdeo from CT Students for a Dream, and Michelle Riordan-Nold from CTData Collaborative for our September 26th Data for Democracy gathering. These state experts will showcase data sources that remain accessible as federal information becomes harder to obtain. When federal data grows unreliable, nonprofits struggle to serve their communities effectively. This session offers practical solutions: discover what resources are available, then collaborate in small groups to tackle your organization's data challenges. You'll leave with strategies for filling information gaps and new connections within Connecticut's data community through networking time. Register here.

October 7: Serving Clients Safely: Data Protection Strategies for Uncertain Times

Organizations face the challenge of providing services without risking people's safety when sharing personal information. Currently, data stored by the government and nonprofits are being accessed in ways that violate laws and regulations. Our upcoming Data for Democracy session on October 7th will address this problem that nonprofits face today. Dr. Eric Giannella from Georgetown's Massive Data Institute will lead the session and teach participants how to protect data. You will learn how to keep information safe without spending money on new technology, how to store data in better ways, and when to keep or delete information to protect privacy while still helping clients.

October 30: Bridging Data Gaps & Building Community Connections (Norwalk)

Following the presentations, participants will break into small groups to share their experiences with data challenges, explore solutions to common problems, and generate ideas for addressing gaps in their communities. The event will conclude with networking time to strengthen our data community. Register here.
