Data Coalition Applauds OMB on the Release on the Federal Data Strategy’s Year 1 Action Plan

Washington, D.C. – Data Coalition Chief Executive Officer Nick Hart issued the following statement on the OMB’s release of the Federal Data Strategy’s Year 1 Action Plan: 

The Data Coalition applauds the release of the Federal Data Strategy’s Action Plan for the first year of implementation. Government has room for much improvement in managing and using data more effectively, and the Federal Data Strategy is a productive start. In particular, the Data Coalition is pleased to see that a number of suggestions from industry and stakeholders outside government were thoughtfully incorporated into the final action plan. Data Coalition members look forward to working with the White House and federal agencies in 2020 to truly support data as a strategic asset.

On January 7, 2020 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EST, the Data Coalition will host a conference call on the new action plan and its implications. Register here.
