Presentation Summary
For the past three years, Anna has led the coordination of the California Water Data Science Symposium and many other data- and equity-centered engagement efforts. In this and all other work she does, Anna does her best to connect (sometimes seemingly unconnected, lofty, or abstract) principles and find ways to put them into practice in her daily work. During this webinar, Anna will discuss core principles and strategies she applies to her work to operationalize equity, inclusion, and belonging in the water data community.
