This webinar is designed to support CCDF Lead Agency staff and partners in understanding how stakeholder perspectives can be paired with agency data to help answer more policy questions. Learn how the perspectives of the people experiencing or implementing the policies can increase understanding of problems, possible solutions, and community contexts. The webinar covers 1) the “Why, Who, and How” of gathering stakeholder perspectives; 2) presentations about recent experiences working with stakeholders in Illinois, New York, and the District of Columbia; and 3) reactions from a state agency perspective.
