If you’ve been wanting to use data and evaluation to strengthen your organization’s work and deepen your impact but haven’t had the time, support, or clarity to make it happen, The Evaluation Center’s Evaluation Institute is for you.

Join us May 11–15 for an intensive evaluation planning retreat at Western Michigan University’s Fetzer Center. You’ll receive the instruction, tools, practice, and guidance you need to develop a meaningful and actionable evaluation plan for your organization or initiative. Importantly, you will have protected time and one-on-one support to create what you need to put your plan into action, including a logic model, evaluation questions, data collection strategy, and more.

Whether you’re looking to jumpstart a new evaluation or strengthen existing practices, our expert team of instructors is ready to meet you where you are on your evaluation journey. The Evaluation Center is widely recognized for its 60+ years of leadership in advancing evaluation theory, practice, and use. Collectively, our instructional team brings more than 80 years of combined experience as evaluation practitioners and educators.

For maximum benefit, we encourage organizations to send more than one person to the Institute. Our pricing structure makes it cost-effective to send up to five people, and registration includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
