Finance officers might not see themselves as "storytellers", but as public servants, they definitely should! In this session, we will explore the role of data storytelling as a critical tool for communicating complexity to the general public, building constituent trust, and ensuring that equity is at the center of your work. Using case studies and lessons learned from communities across the country, participants will leave the session excited about incorporating best practices of data storytelling into their work. Whether a complicated risk model or a simple time series chart, data storytelling for maximum engagement is an achievable goal!
