Misc.
“EVALUATE, EVALUATE, EVALUATE - I think this is imperative in these times. We often spend our time doing "feel good" things, maybe things we have done forever. I think that it is important that we carefully evaluate our programs to see what we carefully evaluate our programs to see what ones are making a difference and be able to "let go" of those that maybe aren't. I know evaluation takes some time but it is worth it and with only so many dollars and hours in the day, we need to make sure that we are using our time and money wisely!”
