Session Recording
For April's session, we'll feature adaptability and efficiency keys. We're excited to introduce co-hosts Stacy Cochran and Katie Phillips, program managers from the Knowledge Exchange (KX), and Brian Butler and Valerie Kohlwey from the Learning and Organizational Development (LOD). This month's workshop offers hands-on training for KX's new custom report builder, the Knowledge Explorer. Participants will learn the basics of building a report, key tool features, and the many data options available. The second half of the session will showcase report examples useful for grant writing or to answer programmatic needs in your county. A robust Q&A after offers the opportunity to share ideas for how participants envision using the Knowledge Explorer in their work.
