Bloomberg Philanthropies article referenced by Senator Natasha von Imhof at a Fiscal Action Coalition meeting on 8/4/17. Leveraging the newfound energy and enthusiasm for infusing data and evidence into government decision-making, Mayor Berkowitz and his team proactively sought input from key community stakeholders, such as the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation, United Way, and Code for Anchorage, while the municipality considered building a data management infrastructure from the ground up.
