Description
Many networks have years worth of outcome data collected for grant evaluations that have not been translated into strategic plan outcomes, or communicated to partner, policy maker and public audiences.  This session will present several practical and cost effective ways to translate grant outcome data into meaningful strategic outcomes that can be utilized to build network momentum and support.

Session participants will learn how to:
  1. Identify sources of existing grant outcome data and tie grant outcomes to network strategic plan goals;
  2. Translate grant outcome data into doable return on investment calculations relevant to the network’s local partners;
  3. Refine network outcome data presentations to various local audiences;
  4. Utilize network outcomes to build momentum and cohesiveness of the network.

Attendees will be provided with practical examples and useful tools from NEON’s real life network experience.  There will be time for audience interaction and exercises to aid in applying tools to each attendee’s network specifically.
