Practical Applications and Inclusive Data Practices

Is data at your organization kept in an inclusive manner in your database? Are greetings and salutations preventing your organization from practices that promote acceptance of everyone? What is your policy on ‘dead’ names? Does your organization put pronouns on staff or guest name tags? Are you still using terms like ‘maiden’ name to identify prospects? How do you handle non-colonial names, names with international symbols and diacritics, or name transitions like Lew Alcindor to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Time to join us to examine all the ways you can use your database to create inclusion from the beginning, at the original source of record – your database.
