We at Nonprofit Montgomery are putting our MORE learning into practice. As we evaluated our MORE program, we noted that many of you asked for additional support for your evaluation work:
- Our focus dropped off after the consulting session.We aspired to keep up the process but other priorities limited that possibility. Continued structured follow-up would have helped us.
- You spoke of a community of practice… Foster/curate/gently incubate/push/develop that community! A yahoo group …. something like that so we can continue to support each other and remind each other that we are not alone!
Well, we listened. The MORE Evaluation Network includes an interactive online discussion group as well as quarterly meetings to support nonprofit staff in building their evaluation knowledge and help support one another implementing evaluation in nonprofits. This community of practice includes an online moderated discussion and quarterly gatherings for network members.
Who: The network is open to all MORE alumni.
What: Participants will be invited to a LinkedIn group where Sharp Insight will moderate a discussion forum around various evaluation topics. In addition, Nonprofit Montgomery will host quarterly brown bags facilitated by Sharp Insight.
