NNIP Showcase, Part 1 - Equity and Community Data Governance Initiatives in Charlotte

Equity and Community Data Governance Initiatives in Charlotte

Lori Thomas, UNC Charlotte Urban Institute

We would like to share key initiatives on equity and community data governance, that include the development of a criminal justice and violence prevention data collaborative, a Community Data Advisory Committee, and the Impact, Data and Evaluation Academy (IDEA). We'll identify the early challenges, persistent tensions, and collaborative solutions in the work and we'll discuss how the data collaborative fits into the data strategy at the City of Charlotte and how all three strategies help scaffold the strategic equity work of the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute and Charlotte Regional Data Trust.

This is the presentation for the NNIP Showcase, Part 1 session at the NNIP November 2023 partners meeting.
