“It all comes back to good governance”: A walk through AISP’s 2024 convening

Governance is the foundation of all strong data sharing efforts — it determines the rules of the sandbox, ensuring there is a shared mission and vision to guide the people entrusted to steward these vital resources. Members of the AISP Network continue to demonstrate how governance builds the trust and relationships necessary to sustain data sharing efforts for the long term. More and more, these efforts are also recognizing the need to bring people represented in the data into decision making early-on to achieve lasting and equitable impact. The June 2024 AISP convening — a four-day gathering in Philadelphia bringing together AISP’s network, partners, and broader community — highlighted how the field of data sharing is growing and how data collaborations are adapting to ensure more just systems for all.
