November 1 - 9am to 4pm - United Way Learning Centre, 580 Main St (*lunch will be provided)
This session will focus on creating evaluations that are internally useful for organizations but also get the information funders need. Strong organizations want to be good self-evaluators, ensuring that programs are accomplishing goals and maintaining organizational mission, not just fulfilling deliverables. The morning will focus on the ‘what and why’ of evaluation, as well as looking at some examples of useful evaluation models. After the catered lunch break, the focus will shift to small groups, working through your specific evaluation questions. This will be an important learning event for directors, program coordinators, or anyone wanting to gain better evaluation tools.
Facilitator: Javier Mignone, University of Manitoba, Department of Family Social Sciences
Javier's biography will be coming soon!
