    Join us as we review some considerations for the process of implementing SOGIE data collection in an organization. Collecting SOGIE data involves more than just the act of collecting information; it needs to be a coordinated effort across multiple stakeholder groups. In this session, our presenter will share their experiences in preparing for collection and implementing agency processes to ensure that collection is culturally humble and trauma informed. They will also address various systems partners who can be helpful in this process, along with their strategies for getting those partners to the table.

    Presented as part of the Learning Community on Safe & Effective SOGI Data Collection

    This Learning Community provides learners the opportunity to hear from experts in the field on serving LGBTQ+ populations and collecting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in safe and effective ways. Learners will have the opportunity to engage in monthly presentations, quarterly office hours, and will get early release access to helpful tools such as a self-assessment, tip sheets, and supervisor’s guides.
