Our first Equity in Data Community of Practice of 2024 was held on Tuesday, January 16th. We were joined by Mica Knox, from the COMPASS Youth Collaborative, who shared the COMPASS data team’s experience developing effective and accessible dashboards. During this session, we discussed
how to determine what should be included in a dashboard,
how to gain buy-in from staff to ensure its use, and
how COMPASS staff are using it in their planning and decision-making processes.
