About This Event

Join us for a seminar style event that brings together local Milwaukee data experts with community residents to share their data projects, findings, and applications for hands-on use. MKE Data Dives are curated for anyone who cares about their city and wants a better understanding of how data shapes local decision-making. 

Our theme for this Data Dive is Nothing About Us Without Us: Centering Community Voice & Experiences.

This Data Dive brings together community-rooted data practices and actionable strategies for driving policy and systems change. Attend our event and gain practical skills for designing community-guided evaluations, communicate findings effectively to stakeholders, and use data to advance equity and accountability. Leave knowing how to apply these new approaches within your organization, everyday decision-making, and broader efforts to challenge the status quo. 

Thank you to our presenters; Samantha Reynoso, Kristin Kappelman from Milwaukee Succeeds, and Dr. Monique Liston from UBUNTU Research & Evaluation.
