TIPS FOR RECRUITING THE RIGHT TEAM
A diversity of voices, skills, and experiences can lead to project breakthroughs and innovative interventions. We recommend your team includes a mix of policy and data experts with diverse specialties, along with decision-makers and implementers. While every state will be different, some team members you might consider include:
State Chief Data Officer or equivalent, such as data administrator or coordinator, open data manager, analytics director, etc.
Governor’s office representative, such as policy director, deputy chief of staff, advisor, etc.
Decision-maker or program manager from relevant agencies with policy or subject matter expertise
Equity or DEI officer from relevant agencies
Budget office representative, such as budget director, financial manager, etc.
Community partners, such as nonprofits, local academic institutions, private-sector organizations, etc.
