New Mexico Early Childhood Data Convening
September 18-19, 2025 | Santa Fe, NM
Welcome to the New Mexico Early Childhood Data Convening.
Together, we are building toward a legacy - one where data systems are not only technically strong, but responsive to the lived realities of families, communities, and the organizations that serve them.
Your voice, insights, and leadership are critical to making this vision real. This two-day convening will bring together diverse agencies, data stewards, policy thinkers, funders, and community-based leaders to:
- Build shared awareness of current data initiatives across New Mexico.
- Explore opportunities for aligning and linking data across agencies and efforts.
- Identify strategies and develop a strategic blueprint to make these data more meaningful, more accessible, and minimize burdens on families and providers.
