Tennessee’s Office of Evidence and Impact was created in 2019 by Governor Bill Lee. The office works with the Governor’s office and with Tennessee’s executive agencies to use data and evidence to help decision makers invest in programs that work for Tennesseans. To learn more about the office’s work and what lessons it provides for other states, we’re joined by its director, Christin Lotz (@ChristinLotz). She’s served in state government for more than 15 years and also serves on the recently-created Advisory Committee on Data for Evidence Building launched by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce.
