It’s likely your nonprofit organization has a social media presence. But is it successfully implemented into your day-to-day operations?

“Results measures help a nonprofit know that their blood, sweat and tears are working,” says Martha Talbott of Talbott Consulting, who along with Elaine Chaney of Elaine Chaney & Associates will present “Creating Strong Results Measures — Focusing on Impact” as part of the Leadership track on the second day of Nonprofit Summit workshops. “All nonprofits work very hard to meet the needs they see in society. Often they don’t know if they are meeting these needs. It is affirming for them to find ways to measure their organization’s impact.” Results measures go beyond the numbers of how many are served or attend a program, to the actual change in general conditions or circumstances, skills, behavior, knowledge and/or attitudes that the people you serve get from their experience.
As part of Martha’s and Elaine’s May 22 workshop, your organization will benefit from expert insight into understanding the criteria and processes for creating strong results measures, while clarifying your target audience and maximizing your impact on them.
