We're honoring the experts who freely share their knowledge with their peers every day in our first-ever cohort of The OA Club Data Champions program, recognizing those who have stepped up to answer questions, share resources, and act as sounding boards to their peers. These individuals are part of our Slack community and have been actively contributing to topical data channels, bringing different perspectives and career journeys to the table. They've shared insights about their data origin stories, favorite parts of their job, challenges they face, and why community is important in the data industry, highlighting the value of collaboration, learning from each other's experiences, and overcoming obstacles together. The OA Club Data Champions program aims to build a community where mid- to senior-level data professionals can get support from colleagues, mentors, and peers, driving innovation, solving complex problems, and pushing the industry forward in new and exciting ways.
