MASTER Course: Building a Framework for Advanced Evaluation and Outcome Measurement of your Organization: A Three-Part Immersion with John Kelley, PhD
The pressure to demonstrate your organization's effectiveness and document your program outcomes continues to grow and presents a daunting challenge. Foundations, government entities, and other funders expect evaluation and performance measurement data, even as most nonprofit organizations struggle with to find the capacity to implement meaningful evaluation and outcomes measurement.
We created this Master Course, presented in three progressive l/2 day sessions, to walk you through the steps that will result in each participant having honed a clear and specific evaluation map for at last one program, as well as an enhanced ability to formulate and guide additional evaluations.
The first class will present a multi-step evaluation model with subsequent sessions devoted to developing individual evaluation plans, learning tools and techniques such as designs and data collection methods; and addressing questions and obstacles. A collaborative, collegial peer environment will encourage discussion on topics of interest to the audience, such as logic models, evaluation costs and the role of consultants.
The focus will be on leadership knowledge and skills essential to guiding evaluation design and managing implementation, rather than instruction in statistics, specific data programs and web survey tools.
(1)Registration will close two days prior to the schedule date of the first workshop.
(2)This course will take place over 3 dates; February 17, March 3, and March 17 2011 - 9AM to 12PM. Registrants must attend all 3 dates.
Best Practices in Board Governance with Laura Otten, PhD
Being an effective board member is more than attending meetings. This class is the first step in truly appreciating the roles and responsibilities that the job of board member requires. Attendees will come to comprehend the full responsibilities of board membership in both the context of being part of a larger whole as well as an individual. In addition, this course will show how to maximize the all-important partnership of board and executive director. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of key elements of board responsibility, such as the law's performance expectations of nonprofit board members, strategic planning, fundraising, financial management, and the care and feeding of the board. Participants will leave knowing that they can now cement their good intentions in best practices, including being able to apply standard tools for board assessment and governance and sample essential policies to their organizations.
Registration will close two days prior to the schedule date of the workshop.
