UWGH’s Community Impact Committee has approved an update to our Funded Partner Standards & Policies. The update reflects our commitment to ensuring we uphold the data governance framework that includes the legal and technical aspects of sharing data through a technology tool across multiple partners. The update to the Data Sharing policy (page 6) and standard (page 12) supports the minimum requirements for agencies and individuals of the ICJ Data Collaboration to ensure the security, quality, and ethical use of the data. The update supports the policies, protocols, and training that are necessary for the effective and responsible participation in the ICJ Data Collaboration and the ICJ Tech Tool. Please email Gerry Taylor at gtaylor@unitedwayhouston.org with any questions!
Consider joining the ICJ Data Collaboration Governing Body The ICJ Data Collaboration consists of a Governing Body that serves as the main decision-making mechanism in the ICJ Governance Framework. We are excited to share that we have a few spots open for Funded Partners to serve on the Governing Body. What does the Governing Body do? Funded partners that serve on the Governing Body maintain decision and policy-making authority and participate in short-term, ad hoc workgroups that make recommendations to the Governing Body. The Governing Body provides the business and technical requirements for the ICJ tech tool to be implemented by the Technical Vendor. They are primarily focused on what data can be shared, who can access it, under what conditions, and for what specific purposes. Who is part of the Governing Body? The Governing Body represent the ecosystem of nonprofits and stakeholders within the Integrated Client Journey. Each Governing Body organization has a voting and proxy member (2 staff members) who serve on the governing body on behalf of their organization for a term of 2 (two) years, allowing 1 (one) reappointment. What are the responsibilities for serving on the Governing Body? The Voting and Proxy member for each Governing Body organization meets regularly to discuss revisions, extensions, or expansions to the ICJ Data Collaboration, including updates to the data governance framework and ICJ tech tool. If your organization is interested in joining the Governing Body, please express interest by completing this form by March 31, 2024. Please email Jessica Davison at jdavison@unitedwayhouston.org with any questions!
