C.H. Booth Library's Nonprofit Education Series: "Evaluation Services" (an in-person program with Anita Baker)

Description

Do you need an evaluation refresher? Are you just beginning to evaluate your programs or services for the first time? Do you have untrained staff who could use a hands-on crash course introduction to evaluation? This special 1.5 hour session is designed to meet those needs. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn and practice basic evaluation skills including target setting, evaluation logic and using effective data collection strategies. The session will also include tips and advice covering data analysis and reporting from an instructor who provided training and coaching for non-profit and philanthropic staff seeking to build evaluation capacity and enhance evaluative thinking in their organizations. Please register for the event.
