SUMMARY:Workshop: Meeting the Moment: Data\, Narrative\, Action for Bolder Futures with Karthick Ramakrishnan:
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help bridge the gap between information and advocacy. Led by Karthick Ramakrishnan\, this session will dive into the “Action” pillar of AAPI Data’s core DNA—Data\, Narrative\, Action—framework. Ramakrishnan will also expand on the Bolder Futures initiative\, which brings together intergenerational changemakers and leaders to enact meaningful action. \nWhile having accurate data about our communities is important\, data alone is not enough to develop effective strategies and produce meaningful results for our communities. This session is specifically designed for leaders and professionals who want to learn effective strategies for implementing data-driven change and raising community visibility. \nParticipants will leave with a clear roadmap for translating data insights into tangible results in their own professional spheres\, and how to use data to inspire action and lasting change.
