“Rigorous use of qualitative and quantitative data has guided the evolution of the nonprofit I lead. Since the early days of StrivePartnership, a collective impact initiative in Cincinnati, Ohio, and northern Kentucky, we knew we could make a positive impact by using data to resolve systemic barriers that limit opportunity. Early successes led to a national movement, a Cradle to Career Network spanning 30 states and nearly 70 communities. Now known as StriveTogether, we continuously learn from communities as we strengthen data use to achieve population-level results.”
