“We have started to think about evaluation when we talk about planning. Evaluation is an aspect of whatever we do now. We never thought about it [before]. It’s more buy-in across the board because people were at the workshop and participated. It’s a much more tangible concept for us. That’s changed for sure.”
“Evaluation has matured our thinking about what our next steps should be.”
“[For my] own organization, I was able to apply many of the concepts to goal setting, especially the evaluation portion of setting benchmarks in order to track progress toward goals.”
“You guys [at EMI] approach [the generation of questions] from a very unique way. I don’t think I would go that far [had I been generating these questions on my own]. There are questions in [our final list] that we would not have [developed without your process], it was really excellent.” Participant, Colombia River Greenways Alliance
