April 16, 2026 – How can communities use data not just for reporting, but for building relationships and co-creating programs that matter? IDG’s Kelly Mitchell partnered with LWYL Studio’s Dr. Kelly Page to deliver Data for Connection: Using Collective Data to Drive Community Engagement and Program Development at the 2026 Collective Impact Action Summit, an initiative of FSG and the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions.
In this interactive session, Kelly Mitchell and Dr. Page guided participants to explore how to use data collectively to inform and deepen community engagement. The co-presenters shared practical tools and frameworks for collaborative data collection, consent, ownership, and stewardship that center community voices and equity.
