Free November Webinar, "Government Data of the People, by the People, for the People: Balancing Personal Privacy and the Public Good"
Our Program:
In this presentation, Ms. Bowen will explore the crucial role of U.S. government data — data that are truly of the people, by the people, and for the people. These data are essential for ensuring our communities receive the care and resources they need to thrive. At the same time, we must carefully consider the data privacy, security, ethics, and governance throughout the data lifecycle. Only then can we responsibly tell our stories that inform evidence-based public policy decisions that promote the well-being of both our communities and our nation.
