This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017. Accessing, interpreting, and incorporating the right data are some of the most important tasks in writing an effective and compelling CEDS. This hands-on learning lab will highlight data tools and resources including StatsAmerica, BlastPoint, and the Area Sector Analysis Process (ASAP) that you can use to improve your CEDS and enable stakeholders to make more informed decisions. Make sure to bring your own laptop or tablet to follow along with the live demonstrations.
