The Datum Awards in downtown D.C. recognize government data champions who are working on meaningful initiatives that unleash data for the public good. Specifically, the 2022 awards, sponsored by Workiva, will recognize leaders under all three of the new positions established by the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, political leaders, and other categories championed by the Data Coalition’s activities.
Nominees are individuals who are champions for the use of data in evidence-based decision-making, transparency, and accountability. Each of the nominated champions support and demonstrate a commitment to enabling a more efficient and effective government, while using data to make the government more innovative for improving outcomes that improve the lives of the American people, strengthen the economy, or make the country a better place.
