1. Christine Clark, discussion about data needs to support the strategic planning initiatives in her area, and how data governance can provide assistance.

2. Data Users Groups have been difficult to identify.
Note the roles defined for the Data Users Groups
1. Provide a formal mechanism for communication among data users, data processors, and data managers.
2. Connect the data managers to ways in which the institution uses the data
            a. See example from Student Accounts – positions, not people
            b. Registrar wants to vet user issues through the Data Governance Council

3. Introduction to send to “data experts”
            Most data stewards have identified an internal group of experts that will be called upon when questions arise that require specific knowledge.
            See attached list of areas and people
            This is not a group that will have a regular meeting, but rather individuals who will help on an as needed basis

            As a courtesy, an introduction should go out to everyone on this list explaining to them that they have a role in this overall initiative  
From you or from me??.
            Telling who the data steward is in their area
            Making them aware that they could get a request from that person.

4. Communication with Executive Sponsors, from the Data Stewards
            See attached March report in a format that conforms to the following:
                        Uses the tasks identified in the Charge to Data Stewards
                        Events during this month that fall within each task description listed
            Data Management Projects listed in spreadsheet……

5. Discussion – What is and what is not working with data governance
            Cultural change, which takes time, however needs to achieve “a life of its own”
            Data governance needs to be in line with UNLV strategic planning
            Communication vehicle – appropriate  people at table
            What is the best way to direct data stewards?
