Daisy to Present at Spring Conferences

The collaborative work happening in Chatham County is gaining attention beyond our community. After pitching the idea, United Way of Chatham County’s Impact Manager, Daisy Butzer, was selected to present at both the United Way of North Carolina Annual Conference at Elon University and the United Way Southeast Regional Conference in Charleston, SC.

Across these sessions, Daisy will share how the Chatham Housing Collective Community Dashboard is helping partners align data, tell a clearer story of impact, and strengthen collaboration across agencies – offering practical lessons for communities looking to turn shared data into meaningful action.

Building a Dashboard with Collective Impact
UWNC Conference
How do you turn community data into a tool for collaboration and change? United Way of Chatham County will share the journey of building the Chatham Housing Collective Community Dashboard: an innovative, public-facing tool that tracks outcomes across multiple agencies and provides a clearer picture of community needs and progress. This session will provide practical lessons on aligning partners, simplifying data collection, and transforming numbers into a compelling story of impact. Participants will leave with clear steps to replicate a similar approach in their own communities.
 

Using Dashboards to Transform Data into Knowledge
UW Southeast Regional Conference
United Way is uniquely positioned to turn collective data into powerful tools for good. Cohosted by United Way Worldwide and United Way of Chatham County (North Carolina), this session seeks to make data more accessible for both staff members and community stakeholders. United Way Worldwide will walk through existing dashboards like United by Data and Performance Link, making United Way data easier to find, understand, and use. For those looking to create new data experiences, United Way of Chatham County will share how they engaged the community to plan and build the Chatham Housing Collective Community Dashboard. Their dashboard tracks outcomes across multiple agencies and visualizes community needs and progress. Participants will leave ready to use the United by Data dashboards and equipped with clear steps for creating their own. Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops for a hands-on experience.
