LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS!
Program Evaluation Working Group:
This working group will help develop a recommended evaluation plan for Tapestry programming. This would be a broad measurement template, considering mission/vision/values alignment and impact measurements - not just hard admission numbers vs. expenses. It would be used to help determine success, inform when changes need to be made. The goal is that this working group will meet as needed to present the Board with initial recommendations by the March 27, 2025 board meeting.
