Description

Join us for this workshop on 3/30 from 8 am to 9 am at The Executive Center! Where have you come from, and where are you going? In this session, Dr. Rachel Veron will guide us through the places that have shaped our lives, the places we call home, using public data. The richness of the experience comes from the diversity of you, the audience! We will explore in-depth information on place: social, demographic, economic, and housing. We will reflect on how this type of data and information can be brought to bear to reflect on our own unique stories and leveraged to improve communities. You will walk away with additional resources on how to learn more and apply this rich data to your own community work. Thank you to our sponsor, The Executive Center, for your partnership!
