As nonprofits navigate uncertain times and the availability and reliability of federal data is becoming less certain, nonprofit and public sector professionals need to connect and discuss where to turn for reliable data. Join us for a 90-minute in-person event designed to spark connections, share resources, and spotlight state data you can trust.

The event features a short presentation from state agency leaders on the data that they are working to make available, including updates on projects that have been ongoing and information about data sources you may not have considered. Participants will also discuss changes at the federal level and implications for data availability going forward. Then, dive into small group discussions to share challenges and brainstorm solutions for filling data gaps in your own community. The session will wrap up with dedicated networking time to build relationships and strengthen our data community.

Whether you’re a data professional, nonprofit leader, or just passionate about evidence-based social change, you’ll leave with new insights, useful resources, and stronger connections. Let’s build a more resilient, informed, and connected data ecosystem.
 

We'll be having our 2025 Spring into Summer Celebration at the Mark Twain House and Museum, 351 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, on Wednesday, June 4, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Some of our favorite partners will be tabling, we'll honor our spring certified communities, we'll introduce our newest cohort of Sustainable CT Fellows, and tours of the Twain House will be available, too. There will be music, light fare, and all of your Sustainable CT friends. "To get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with," Twain said. We hope you will come divide it with us.

This event is generously sponsored by PosiGen, Energia, Clean Transportation Communities of Southern Connecticut, Orsted, WasteZero and All American Waste.

Most professionals have access to qualitative data that can help inform their work but may not even realize it. Even after discovering this data, it can be challenging to categorize it so we can gain valuable insights to inform our work. This workshop will provide you with guidelines and practices you can apply to analyze qualitative data and will provide you with the knowledge and skills to help you more confidently gather insights from your qualitative data.
