About the Session
Join us for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session where WWC experts will answer your questions about the Core Criteria—why they matter, and practical strategies for achieving them. This is an open and safe space for city staff to engage, seek clarification, and share insights with peers.
The Core Criteria are foundational data practices that cities must meet to be considered for What Works Cities Certification. These are:
These criteria represent the essential building blocks for strong decision-making, transparency, and public service improvement. Meeting the Core Criteria ensures that cities have the fundamental structure in place to sustain a culture of data-driven governance.
Who Should Attend?
Whether you are new to the WWC Community, just starting to strengthen your city’s data practices, or looking for clarity on the Core Criteria, this session is for you. While this webinar is open to all, it will be especially valuable for cities that are earlier in their data journey or those seeking a clearer understanding of the foundational steps needed to meet the Core Criteria. Whether you’re leading your city's certification effort, supporting data initiatives or simply curious about what it takes to meet WWC standards, this session will provide valuable insights, practical guidance, and an opportunity to have your questions answered.
This webinar will include an interactive segment where the audience will vote in real time on one Core Criterion to explore in greater depth. We’ll then delve into an actual city’s experience, breaking down the key steps, challenges, and strategies they used to meet that criterion. This a unique opportunity to gain practical insights on a city’s experience and ask questions to help shape your own approach.
