About the summit

State of Oregon agencies gather, analyze, report and use data in all sorts of ways. Sometimes we don’t pause long enough to think about how the decisions we make about this information impacts the people we serve. During this Data Equity Summit we will build our understanding of how to embed data equity into our data governance practices and reflect on why it is important for serving all Oregonians. We will hear from experts, learn about colleagues’ data equity work and encourage additional investments in data equity work across the State. The summit will speak to those who gather data from program applicants, data analysts, managers and anyone who works with data around the State.
