Our Members
Our community thrives on the sharing of ideas and resources that promote the growth, development, and advancement of Data Governance practices in Higher Education. Our members draw from 2-4 year public and private institutions both domestic and abroad. Although the majority of our memberships consist of academic institutions, we also have members from state systems and professional organizations, companies, and facilities. Since our inception, we have grown to an organization of 450+ members across 9 countries.
Our Activities
A grass roots community, we currently exist virtually and connect regularly through Slack and our Google Group. We offer monthly webinars presented by our members on a variety of data governance topics. Recent presentations have included privacy perceptions of students, research data governance, a panel discussion on data governance during a pandemic, and a data catalog tool demo. Webinars are presented on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 2pm Eastern time. Because we are a global community that spans multiple time zones, the webinars are recorded for asynchronous viewing. Information on the password for the webinar archive is available through Slack or from admin@highereddatagovernance.org.
