Introducing … Conversations that Count
We hope you will join us for this debut event specifically designed for Executive Directors and Board Members – Conversations that Count!
As the nonprofit sector becomes increasingly data-driven, the role of leadership in supporting meaningful evaluation becomes more significant.
- What conversations do you have at the board and leadership levels to deepen your understanding of your organization’s impact in the community?
- What systems and tools do you have in place to consistently share progress toward your key outcomes?
Conversations that Count will begin with an opportunity to mingle with fellow nonprofit leaders and continue with an interactive, discussion-rich conversation about nonprofit evaluation.
Grounded in the training model of MORE: Metrics, Outcomes, and Responsible Evaluation, this event focuses on the “bigger picture” aspects of evaluation, from why it matters to how it benefits your organization.
June 5, 2018 from 5pm – 7pm
9200 Corporate Blvd., “Boss Room,” Rockville, MD 20850 (Hosted by MCAEL)
