Data managers were invited to attend the 22nd Annual MIS Conference in Seattle, Washington and to submit a proposal for presenting a session that would add to the conference's interest and usefulness. Topics were invited from all sources, but the major focus was on data use, data standards, statewide data systems, and data quality.
