Webinar Today: What Powerful Data Can Do For You
Join “What Powerful Data Can Do For You: California WBCs Measure Up! Project” TODAY at 2:00pm PDT.
Data is important to make the case for your programs and improve client outcomes. Learn what the WBCs did, what they gained, and how to apply all that to your organization. In this webinar, CAMEO and the WBCs share the Measure Up! Project’s work over the past 12 months using processes and tools that you can use to have powerful data when you need it.
With support from the SBA PRIME program, the Measure Up! Project has led to a more powerful voice and awareness of services and has generated more financial support for the California WBC Network.
