Let's Start Painting Our Data Picture

Please Report Your Data by 15 July 2020 !

We are asking local leagues to participate in data collection by using a Google spreadsheet to record some basic demographic data for the period of the last 6 months.  Please work with your leadership teams to provide as much information as you can. 
 
The national League committee, the Data Ambassadors, has been assigned the task of defining data evaluation methods and policies, and one of the needs the committee has seen is collection of basic data.  They continue their work, and Colorado is collecting data and determining what we need to know and the best ways to report and share that information. 

LWVCO Data Collector is ready.

Beth Hendrix and I have created a Data Collector spreadsheet on Google Docs that will allow all of us to report the statistics that we can use to tell our stories. We plan for all of the local leagues to report information every six months. 

 
 
Click the link above to access the spreadsheet.  If there are other kinds of information that would be useful or better ways to report, let me know (rionda.osman@gmail.com ). 
 
When you follow the link:
  • You will be asked to log into your Google account. 
  • On the first page are instructions. 
  • On the second sheet are definitions and notes.
  • On Data Report July 2020, you will find the questions to be answered.  Scroll to the right to reach your league's column.

What We Need to Know

These broad demographic data categories will give us a very general picture of our leagues.  This information is certainly not the only information we need, and as we all get more used to making these reports, we will update and supplement this spreadsheet. 
 
Please use the time frame:   1 January 2020 to 1 July 2020.  If you are unable to report a particular piece of information, skip that category and fill in as much as you can.  We will be making these reports periodically, and each time we will be building a bigger and better picture of what we do. 
 
As we refine our informational needs, we will adapt our data strategies.   For example, instead of using a spreadsheet, we might consider using a Survey Monkey-type tool if you would find that tool easier to use. 
 
If you have questions or suggestions, email me at rionda.osman@gmail.com
 
We'll be asking for an update in 6 months:  15 January 2021. 
 
Best wishes.  Stay safe.
