2018 Impact Summit

Using examples from the Heart of New Ulm Project, this workshop will outline the importance and process involved with building community capacity, cross-sector alignment and integrating data into decision-making. The audience will be engaged in an active discussion of how data can be used to inform interventions and policy, systems and environmental changes, evaluate progress and empower community stakeholders. Via a relevant selection of case studies, attendees will learn the importance of issue-driven action teams that use data to inform their efforts. Throughout the workshop, guided small group discussions will provide the opportunity to work collaboratively with other attendees.
