and analyzing data and findings. Our evaluation designs are driven
by the needs of the client and community and include continuous
feedback for program improvements.

goals and objectives, logic model development, designing appropriate
data collection instruments, data collection, data analysis, and
reporting. Evaluation experience includes:
