How to Be “Data Driven” with Limited Resources  
 Virtual Panel Discussion

Friday, April 16, 2-3 p.m. ET

Associations are feeling the push to adopt a data-driven culture, but leaders and teams with small budgets, small staff sizes, or other resource limitations may feel challenged to gather the data and other evidence they need. This discussion convenes panelists from small associations who have found ways to get the right evidence that advances their work. Panelists will share stories of success and lessons learned, including when—and how—to invest money allocated for research, tips for setting expectations with data-minded boards, and how to find and connect with the right research partner for your organization.

Speakers

Enid-Mai Jones, MA, MEd, CVEP, CDE, Senior Vice President of The Beacon Institute, LifeSpan Network  
 Christina Lewellen, CAE, Executive Director, The Association of Technology Leaders in Independent Schools  
 Laura Lewis, Chief Communications Officer, Commercial Real Estate Women Network  
 Wendy-Jo Toyama, CAE, CEO, American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine
