Create Your Own Data Visualization

As a program evaluator, you are likely creating reports and data visualizations. But have you ever paused to design a framework that you could use when visualizing data? A framework would make your work more strategic and save you time and energy. You will identify the steps that you should take to avoid data pitfalls, make thoughtful design choices, and incorporate storytelling elements. This is a highly interactive workshop. Participants will be exposed to real-world examples and exercises. So far, Rebeca’s workshops have been foundational to over 700 previous participants, who were able to immediately elevate their approach to data visualization and storytelling.
