Data Center Plan

YNPN 3.0

Goals of the Data Center2

Establish a clear, baseline picture of what our network looks like at this point in time

This information will better inform our programming, our outreach, and help us set benchmarks for growth and improvement

We want to foster data-backed decision-making as a value and an important skill across the network

Where we are now3

Earlier in the 3.0 process, we collected feedback about current data practices - 20 Chapters gave us feedback about how they are collecting data, what they are collecting, and what they are using it for.

We learned that there is a growing culture of data collection throughout the network - many chapters are collecting a variety of data through various means.

In order to establish a process that will get us to a clear baseline across our network, we need to understand what chapters are willing to collect going forward and what supports we need to put in place for them to do so.

How collected information will be used

The information will be used to create a baseline picture of our membership and leadership at this point in time

Moving forward, National will use the information to inform outreach, programming, partnerships, fundraising and research

How collected information will be shared

Annual state of the network report available to all

Full de-identified* version of the data set will be available to any chapter who wants it (not sure about this. Need to discuss how chapters can share beyond that) 

Sliced data sets available to chapters upon request**

*without names/email addresses**depth of “slicing” sub-analysis dependent upon capacity at time of request

What does MEMBER data collection look like for chapters with their own survey system?

6

YNPN National will send you a list of questions to add to your member surveyin many cases, you probably already collect some or all of this information"

You send out your survey as usual

You send us the download of the raw, de-identified data  in an excel sheet

We add your chapter’s information to the aggregate dataset

National does some crunching, slicing, infographing

We share network wide, regional, and city specific information via report and infographic with your chapter

What does MEMBER data collection look like for chapters who prefer to link to National’s system?

7

YNPN National will send you a link to a central member survey created by National

You send the survey out to your members and they submit responses directly into the system

YNPN will also be promoting this same survey at the national level (via facebook, twitter) to “capture” members who do not currently affiliate with a chapter or miss chapter outreach.

National does some crunching, slicing, infographing

We share network wide, regional, and city specific information via report and infographic with your chapter

How are we defining “members”?8

At this point, we are continuing to define members as “any individual your chapter has access to via email, twitter, or facebook, paid or unpaid” 

What does CHAPTER LEADER data collection look like for chapters?

9

YNPN National will send you a link to a central chapter leader member survey created by National
