WHAT WE DO

We collect and analyze local data to inform action and connect resources. Our indicator index is an empowering resource for a comprehensive understanding of our community’s progress across key issues.

We tell our region's story through a printed biennial report, an online dashboard, and data briefs for historical context, current efforts, and intersections with other topics.  

ACTION

We work closely with partners and stakeholders to support a collective impact approach aligned around shared priorities that are identified by multiple, cross-disciplinary participants, and community members.
