Stewardship is the backbone of your data governance program – your stewards do all the heavy lifting with discovering, curating, and managing your organization's data to fuel better decision-making, insights, and analytics/reporting. Successful stewards foster transparency and trust in your organization's data for the benefit of everyone else. Understanding the basics of stewardship and the roles and responsibilities of stewards will help foster broader appreciation and support for their work and better position them for long-term success. 
 
In this session, we will cover: 

• The purpose of stewardship and steward responsibilities 
• The traits and skills best suited to stewards 
• Ways to recruit and develop stewards and stewardship capabilities 
• How to position stewards and your stewardship community for success
