Everyone knows the power an image holds to succinctly convey a trend, idea, or consequence. While the US spends $6 billion annually collecting statistical data, government agencies often fall short of making that data easy to use and visualize. USAFacts is a nonpartisan civic organization founded by former Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, dedicated to making it easy to access government metrics for data-driven decision-making.
USAFacts offers thousands of datasets, visualizations, and tools using data from hundreds of US government agencies. Mr. Ballmer will present a few highlights from the USAFacts Annual Report and dive into topical data visualizations. Attend to discover new resources for finding powerful datasets to communicate your message, whether to constituents, your boss, or on the committee floor. This program is not about debating whose facts to believe and use — this is about helping Congress cut through the constant stream of government agency data and making it meaningful to other members of Congress and their constituents.
The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) invites all congressional staff to participate in our latest virtual training session:
