NAWRS 2018 Virtual Workshop

NAWRS will convene virtually in 2018 with three free web-based sessions. In each of these sessions, experts will share insights and best practices for researchers and practitioners working across the spectrum of human services.

June: Communicating with Data – Visualizing Data in the Public Sector

This inaugural session of the NAWRS 2018 Virtual Workshop featured presentations from three experts on research and data visualization. NAWRS community members learned about innovative approaches to data visualization, including an overview of best practices and concrete examples of how state and municipal government agencies can use and present data in innovative ways to support program and policy goals.

Cambria Brown, former Performance Management and Data Specialist at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, discussed specific examples of her approach to data visualization.

August: The Changing Nature of Work

Today, independent workers (short-term, task-based, autonomous, or part-time) make up almost 30% of the American workforce, and the numbers are projected to grow significantly by 2025. The workspace itself is evolving with new technologies, greater business outsourcing, and more flexibility. Workers, now more than ever, need new training, technology tools, and financial and business literacy skills to help them succeed in the new 21st Century labor market. Programs like entrepreneurship training and financial coaching are now proven to improve employment rates and increase wages.

This discussion covered new approaches to employment services aimed at helping jobseekers adapt to the emerging reality of the changing labor market.

Panelists included:

Angela Pate, Founder of Opportunity Quest, Public Consulting Group
David Parker, CEO, Entrepreneurship for All
Carlos Moreno, Coordinator of the Mobility Mentoring Center, EMPath

Moderated by:

Tony Ong, Public Consulting Group

Organized by Tony Ong, Public Consulting Group, and Sponsored by Public Consulting Group.

September: Rethinking Welfare: Promoting Opportunity and Independence

NAWRS, IRP, Center for Poverty Research, and the U.S. Collaborative of Poverty Centers co-hosted a livestream event on poverty and opportunity.

NAWRS co-sponsored this year’s Poverty Research and Policy Forum, which focused on state implementation of federal policies for promoting work, economic stability, and intergenerational mobility.

At this year’s forum, nationally recognized researchers presented the latest research on mechanisms for promoting employment, economic mobility, and strong social networks to increase independence and family well-being. Check out the agenda here.

Resources for Members

NAWRS is a community of learning and exchange. We have provided some resources that may be of interest to our members. If you have additional resources you would like us to share, please email us at NAWRSWorkshop@gmail.com.

Research Academy

Since 2012, NAWRS has included a Research Academy designed to build the capacity of the state and local human service research community in its annual conference. The Academy brings state and local administrators and researchers together with research and evaluation experts to discuss how to incorporate rigorous research methods, including random assignment experiments, into ongoing state and local efforts to improve and document the effectiveness of their programs. The Research Academy typically includes sessions that:

Present examples of the use of rigorous research methods, including random assignment experiments, to obtain information on program effectiveness
Highlight opportunities to use administrative data to support lower cost evaluation efforts
Undertake rapid cycle evaluations to support real-time decision-making
Engage participants in identifying current problems/issues that could be addressed by rigorous research
Discuss barriers to state and local sponsorship of rigorous research and supports needed to address those barriers

Michael Bono Tribute

Michael Bono joined the NAWRS Board of Directors in 2004 and served tirelessly as President in 2010 and again in 2014 and 2015. He continued to work on NAWRS behind the scenes until cancer took him from us in 2016. We are so grateful to have known this warm, selfless, charismatic dynamo with a boundless heart for the less fortunate.

We hope you enjoy this heart-warming tribute to Michael. Friends and colleagues shared some of their favorite memories during an informal gathering to honor him at the NAWRS 2017 Workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Program Committee: Plan the program for the next NAWRS workshop
Marketing and Volunteer Committee: Maintain the public presence of NAWRS, engage members in Association developments and activities, reach out to potential volunteers for the Association, and connect volunteers with opportunities that align with their interests and the Association’s needs

Conference Organization Committee: Coordinate all logistics for the NAWRS workshop
Finance and Budget Committee: Strengthen NAWRS’ financial position through better practices for oversight and decision-making (Board members only)
