The Clinton School of Public Service is partnering with the Arkansas Nonprofit Alliance and UAMS Translational Institute to provide a full-day workshop entitle Successful Program Evaluation for nonprofit professionals. This is an opportunity to learn more about how to evaluate the programs in your organization with a professional in the field of program management, planning, and evaluation. Participants can register online. Registration is limited to 25 so that the training can be tailored to participants’ organizational needs.
Effective program evaluation is becoming more critical to organizations as funders, donors, and other stakeholders expect documentation of evaluation. It’s also essential to building successful programs in nonprofit organizations. Successful programs create greater impact in the communities Arkansas organizations serve.
Led by University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service professor Dr. Al Bavon, this full-day workshop will cover the basics of program evaluation and help participants develop an evaluation specific for you and your organization’s programs.
Dr. Bavon is professor of public administration at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, teaching courses in Decision Analysis and Program Development and Evaluation. The former chair of the Department of Policy Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, Bavon has an extensive background and publication record in the areas of program planning, management, and evaluation. Previously, he served as Program Coordinator of the doctoral program in public administration at the University of North Texas. He also has focused some of his research on relevant issues in his home country of Ghana and has completed a number of grant-funded projects that focus primarily on evaluation of programs ranging from a court-based drug program to a community-based arts initiative.
