Introduction to Program Evaluation Workshop, 7-8 December

Purpose of this two-day workshop is to familiarize RIM professionals
with the benefits and outcomes of using an evaluation framework to
enhance RIM program performance and advancement. The workshop will be
presented by program evaluation professionals, Heather Perkins and Tracy
Fiander-Trask. The objectives of the workshop are for participants to
develop a fundamental understanding of program evaluation concepts,
principles and tools in program evaluation; to learn about the
components of an evaluation framework and how they can be used in the
development of RIM programs; to understand how program evaluation can be
used to measure and enhance RIM programs. In addition, the workshop will
prepare participants for future specialized evaluation training such as
developing and using logic models and assessment methods. Last
registration date is 30 November 2006. Non-members will benefit by
receiving a complementary membership with  the Halifax Chapter ARMA
International and the Information Management Journal for one year.
