Data Governance Community Group

In the age of analytics, building a strong data foundation is essential: ensuring data conforms to standards, is of high quality, is available when needed, and is managed by Data Stewards. The Higher Education Data Community Group is a venue for data governance managers—and open to those seeking to initiate data governance programs.

EDUCAUSE also hosts a Chief Data Officers community for those who serve as the highest ranking data officer/professional at their institution. To be added to the Chief Data Officers group, please submit a request to join.
