Description: Trusted Information for Public Policy

Reliable information is crucial for effective public policy discussion and decision-making. Policymakers need accurate, transparent, and trustworthy information to make good decisions and allocate resources that effectively address societal issues. Public trust and accountability are enhanced when evidence is used, not assumptions, bias, or speculation. Problem identification and framing can define issues and avoid or mitigate unintended consequences. When all stakeholders have access to the same reliable information and a voice in the discussion, the results are easier accepted by all. This symposium has speakers who will share their best practices in providing reliable information to the public.

Two sessions: 1) in-person, Sunday, March 23, 2-6 pm and 2) virtual, Monday, March 24, 10 am-1 pm.
