Prove That You Are Making a Difference through Results Based Accountability (RBA) - Special Training Opportunity!

Funders, donors, and boards all want to know if the programs they are supporting are truly making a difference. Measuring the impact of programs is both critical and difficult. ACS will be offering a three-part training program in Results Based Accountability (RBA) to help our members develop program evaluations that will show whether they are having the desired effect, how great is the impact, for whom, and what factors are constraining or contributing to progress.

Hear what Lois Mikkila, Director of the Howard County Department of Citizen Services has to say about RBA.
“Like most funders, we want to know if people are actually any better off because of the services we fund. We started using Results Based Accountability (RBA) as our model for measuring outcomes because it’s a very common sense, easy to understand approach. Using it to identify performance measures gives agencies a very powerful tool to evaluate program effectiveness. Those agencies that can provide real data about their impact – along with the success stories they already do so well – will be the ones that will be successful in garnering grants, donors, and volunteers.”
For more information, or to register for this program, contact Education and Training Coordinator Kristin Mentz.
