We all know that we need to conduct program evaluations, but few of us are trained in this work. Join Rebecca Shulman of Museum Questions Consulting (and a former NYCAIER Board Member) to learn some basic evaluation strategies. We will also discuss how incorporating evaluation during your initial planning can help you design better, goal-focused programs, and what to do with the data you gather. We will leave time for Q&A, so bring all your evaluation questions!
