RTPE is thrilled to announce that our June May workshop will focus on strategies that can be used to facilitate intentional group learning, and led by Hallie Preskill. In this hands-on session we will experience and learn how to use strategies such as data placemats, chalk talks, and gradients of agreement from FSG‘s new guide. In recent years, RTPE has focused on evaluation capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and data visualization. This session will be designed to build on these topics by providing hands-on training with activities you can use with your clients and colleagues.

As most of you probably know, Hallie is a former President of AEA. She has published multiple books on evaluation, and is one of the field’s leading contributors on evaluation capacity building and appreciative inquiry. Hallie is currently a managing director with FSG, where she oversees the firm’s Strategic Learning and Evaluation practice efforts. What some of you may not know is that Hallie moved to the RTP area within the last year, and she just joined RTPE! Whether you have the chance to meet her at the workshop in June May, or some other time soon, we hope you will help welcome Hallie to North Carolina!

This year’s session will be on June 14 May 24 at Duke’s Bullpen entrepreneurial space in Durham. The workshop will run from 9am-2pm (lunch will be provided). Seating is limited to 45 attendees. As always, members will have priority seating. Registration will open March 1, and so please mark your calendars and stay tuned!

Hope to see you all at this month’s meeting.
