This guide, created by Community Wealth Partners, is engaging and so easy to pick up on - it shares a clear approach to move from community engagement to community ownership. A few principles that really stood out to me (okay more than a few lol): - Create space to go off topic - Be honest with yourselves and transparent with the community - Listen deeply - Create time for relationship building early on - Stay accountable for the long haul - Narrate decision making process https://lnkd.in/gemStmbu

We just closed applications for the Pro Bono Evaluation Support Program - 8 nonprofits and over 30 evaluators applied! Our happy hour a couple weeks ago played a big role in spreading the word and connecting with folks. See photos below! Atlanta-area Evaluation Association Now we're in the matching process. Ana Paula Pohl Duarte, MPH, PMP, Shameka W., and I met yesterday to create strong groups of evaluators.

I laughed out loud while reading this article by Chris Lysy over lunch today. "If people are complaining that your 10 page report is too long, try making it 20 pages." 100% agreed. When designing reports and deliverables, they always get longer - I add call outs, beautiful pictures, descriptive headers, and more. I try to make something the audiences' eyes are drawing them into read. Just like a magazine at the grocery store check out. Something I'm absolutely going to try out: -> "If you change each heading into a short narrative sentence, and do this systematically throughout the whole report, the headings themselves will tell the reader a story. Even if they only skim."
