Grassroots Organizing and Introduction to Power Building- Bill DavisCleanH2O
Power assessment is a data-driven analysis of how much power an organization has and the characteristics of that power. Having power is important to accomplish goals and influence outcomes. Power can be measured broadly, such as having influence over key decisions, and specifically based on factors like the number of active members and partners in certain districts. Building power should be integrated into all organizational functions and requires identifying current power sources, desired new sources, and developing targeted plans to expand power over time through maintaining relationships and internal structures.
Visualizations with Empathy: Developing Audience PersonasAmanda Makulec
The document discusses developing audience personas to help design visualizations that are empathetic. It recommends identifying key stakeholder groups and personas within each group by considering their motivations, priorities, knowledge level, and other human attributes rather than just job titles. An example is provided of mapping personas like "Rachel the Technocrat" and "Pascal the Politician" based on dimensions such as how they are motivated and how they act. The goal of personas is to focus on a manageable set of audience profiles to guide visualization design rather than attempting to account for thousands of individuals.

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.
Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

Planning and conceptualizing are important first steps for developing an ICT project. This involves conceptualizing the project, researching available data, setting deadlines and assigning tasks, finding hosting, creating a site map, listing applications needed, and considering funding. A concept paper is also created to convince potential funders of the project purpose, description, budget, and contact information. The development, release and promotion, and maintenance phases involve creating website content, promoting the released site, and responding to feedback to improve the site. Researching audience demographics and interests is crucial to engage them.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
