Conference Speaker: Program Evaluations

Karen L. Michaelson, Ph.D., Tincan, Executive Director

(tincan.org)

Karen is currently responsible for overall management of Tincan, including project design, funding requests, funder reports, budget development and management, supervision of personnel, and she acts as community liaison. All of Tincan’s programs require evaluation – sometimes external, sometimes more informal. Karen has used evaluation data to build Tincan into a $700,000 a year organization. She will cover the importance of evaluation, when and how to begin planning for evaluation, and how to design an evaluation that will give you replicable results. Karen will also cover embedded evaluations and choosing an evaluator.

Join Karen and learn details surrounding the importance of program evaluations and why they are a vital key to obtaining funding.

The first annual Inland Northwest Nonprofit Conference – Fund Development Series will be held Thursday, February 17th, 2011, at the Spokane Masonic Center. For more information visit the AE website.
