Associations have long produced and published content for their members, their professions, and even the public. In fact, content is how associations show their value. There is more content competition from for-profit companies that often offer content for free. How do you meet that challenge and prove the value of your content? The answer lies in content strategy—a strategic approach to create, publish, manage, and share your content. The ASAE Foundation commissioned a research study to understand how association leaders are navigating the shifting content development and management landscape. Hear how associations are using content strategy to serve members' varied information, advocacy, and professional needs. This presentation shares models to develop or improve your approach to content creation, management, and marketing, and navigate the challenges to adopting good content strategy practices.
--Assess where your organization is on the content strategy adoption roadmap.
--Devise methods to improve your organization’s strategic approach to content.
--Integrate the principles of content strategy into your organization’s member needs, offerings, and culture.
--Prepare for a newly strategic, sustainable approach to effective content.
New Frameworks for Measuring Capacity and Assessing PerformanceTCC Group
If we start with the assumption that — in order to improve our social sector as a whole — those who do the work to strengthen our communities (the nonprofits) are equally as critical as those responsible for providing the resources for the work to get done (the foundations), then why wouldn’t we expect all social sector actors to build their capacity? How do we know when our grantees and our foundations are becoming more effective and impactful as a result of our capacity investments, organizational development efforts and technical assistance? What does a high performing organization or foundation look like? And can we measure that?
This presentation, provided during the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations 2016 National Conference in Minneapolis, reviews and demonstrates existing resources for assessing nonprofit and foundation capacity and effectiveness. Speakers introduced the pros and cons of a variety of rubrics in use in the field and offered guidance on how funders decide on the right fit for the desired purpose. Grantmaker peers also shared how they used different frameworks and tools to assess individual nonprofits and grantee cohorts. Session participants left with increased awareness of the importance of the facilitator’s role in interpreting data gleaned from assessments and of the data collection methods most appropriate for their organization.
This presentation provides information from an interactive informational session given at the Oakland Literacy Coalition in 2015. The presentation was led by Nada Djordjevich, Paul Gibson and Julie Johnson of Gibson and Associates. The interactive workshop was designed to help non-profits and school-based services understand how to use program evaluation to improve their programs, inform funders and create accountability. The event was designed for an audience somewhat familiar with program evaluation and uses tools designed in multiple contexts, including municipal funding, public health, education, nonprofit arts, childcare and environmental agencies. The event was well-received with several agencies using the tools with their own agencies in follow-up meetings.
This presentation, given by our President at the 2018 MGMA Annual Meeting, explains why cultural fit is so important and how to create a physician recruitment blueprint that focuses on fit.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Evaluation helps organizations succeed in gaining funding, delivering services, and improving internal processes. Yet conducting rigorous evaluation is a challenge when resources are limited, or you are in charge of evaluation without having had evaluation training. In this workshop, four evaluators of college-access organizations with different levels of experience identify key realworld stumbling blocks such as: 1) confusing evaluation for external use with evaluation for internal use; 2) finding that too much data paralyzes organizational decisions; 3) prioritizing data collection over data analysis; 4) finding your audience’s eyes glazing over when you talk about evaluation; and 5) over or underestimating the resources you will need for your project. This session will focus on evaluation tips and tools, lessons learned, and most importantly, mistakes to avoid. It is designed for those charged with leading evaluation for their organizations (even if they have little evaluation experience); it is not for those completely new to evaluation. Introduction of Panelists: Roblyn Brigham, Brigham Nahas Research Associates Andy Hoge, New Jersey SEEDS Janet Smith, The Steppingstone Foundation Danielle Stein Eisenberg, KIPP Foundation
Overview slide for Janet/Danielle’s section: Describe our orgs re: mission, size Describe our orgs briefly: Two things very important to how we do evaluation: KIPP – national, multiple site, autonomous model (meaning the Foundation does not run or operate the KIPP schools, rather it provides support and training and economies of scale. Currently 82 schools in 20 states and DC, serving 21,000 students. We do internal and external evaluations – I’m going to focus on our internal program evaluation work today.
Evaluation - not a one-size-fits-all approach • Size & Structure of Organization – Who on your staff does program evaluation? No one, everyone or one person? - Evaluator wears many hats? • Culture of Org – Is evaluation part of your organization’s culture already or will this work be entirely new? What systems and processes need to be put in place to create a data-driven culture? What time and resources are dedicated to all phases? Age of org affects what can/should be evaluated Nature of the program offering(s) – direct service, info only, prepping now for future outcomes, multiple sites? Implementing a model vs. responsive to specific program context Through experience we’ve learned that the following matters greatly: - • Size & Structure of Organization – Who on your staff does program evaluation? No one, everyone or one person? - Evaluator wears many hats? • Culture of Org – Is evaluation part of your organization’s culture already or will this work be entirely new? What systems and processes need to be put in place to create a data-driven culture? What time and resources are dedicated to all phases? Age of org affects what can/should be evaluated Nature of the program offering(s) – direct service, info only, prepping now for future outcomes, multiple sites? Implementing a model vs. responsive to specific program context Describe our orgs briefly: Two things very important to how we do evaluation: KIPP – national, multiple site, autonomous model (meaning the Foundation does not run or operate the KIPP schools, rather it provides support and training and economies of scale. Currently 82 schools in 20 states and DC, serving 21,000 students. We do internal and external evaluations – I’m going to focus on our internal program evaluation work today. Two important things about how my org has decided to do eval: DSE: 1. Recently, we built a culture around making program evaluation a critical component to a program’s lifecycle; and engaged program managers in managing their own evaluations 2. Work hard to first define program goals, participant outcomes, and even process goals; and then connect them to the right evaluation tools and processes in order to ensure that the information is useful and actionable.l (show slide with tool to define eval goals, outcomes, tools) JS 1. Learning org – make decisions based on research and data (but easy to leave evaluation thinking until the end) - moving beyond “satisfaction surveys” that ask “rate your level of satisfaction” 2. Interconnected Teams – shared database; own evals and linked evals; mixed methods; Showcase: why does this matter to you?
Evaluable questions: Examples of using proxies, be realistic in making claims Lesson learned: If you are not going to act on evaluation findings, do not collect the data –yet (painful decision-making but necessary)
Data Collection activities: • Articulating “Evaluable” questions - What does Success Look Like? (Theory of change) • (Deciding What Data to Collect) Data Collection – An iterative process – Identifying what data needs to be collected; Ways of collecting data; getting people on board; Identifying who’s involved in data collection • Commitment to Using Results – Being clear upfront how you will USE the results from data collection and analysis: process for making sure the data is utilized for decision-making and program improvement How do data link back to mission and theory of change? What can you take on now? Decide this as part of larger eval over time • What to evaluate (what data to collect)? – Guidelines: Incremental steps based on age of org: New orgs – beginning eval: implementation & staff training After first year – focus on knowledge and behavior outcomes of those you serve After a few years – focus on measuring program impact (with external evaluator?) at theory-of-change level • 1-2 things we’ve learned from experience: DES: 1. When we were a younger organization, no systems in place for doing real program evaluation – program managers were each responsible for doing it on their own, but with no support, no guidelines, and no expertise in this area. Lots of survey monkeying – we learned there needed to be some centralization of efforts to ensure quality evaluation was happening, that we were actually learning from our experiences, that we were retaining information during staff transitions, and that the data we collected was actually utilized. 2. Now that we’re a bit older and have some processes in place, the big question becomes “how much is too much” – survey/interview request fatigue – what data is really necessary – what needs to be collected every year and what doesn’t, etc. 3. Who’s involved is also important – important to have analyst involved in survey development – critical to knowing what data is actually going to be useable. JS: 1. 2. Steppingstone: consider how to send “message in a bottle” - Survey Punch- card, team planning tools, comments in Excel
• Data Analysis - Who’s involved in analyzing the data? Best is team, inclusion of non-eval folks included in later stages to help interpret - Ask yourself: what’s surprising and why? what’s worrisome and why? what’s missing? Share Results of Analysis: org parts are linked via data-driven cycle, activity: each Team presents its data Prioritize action to be taken in response to analysis – formative? Summative? • 1-2 things we’ve learned from experience: DES: 1. KIPP – Articulate the link to your vision/mission: Delivering against vision slide – demonstrate that we set vision first, used variety of data collection methods to track progress towards vision (or goals), and then presented information in ways that were appropriate for audience. 2. Example: Take action based on results; KSLP team utilizes nightly surveys to make immediate adjustments for courses the following day. Others have more subtle changes – but bottom line is – data should be used. JS: 1. Steppingstone – Quarterly Showcase: Teams share their own data analysis, other teams point out how those data affect them, where data-sharing will be key (attention to cross-Team needs is key – JS role, establishing data calendar) 2. Example: Transition Study – exploratory research to include point of view of all broad range of stakeholders. Analyzed themes using x-team analysis group, categorized themes per Team, left each team to do final interpretion and take action: informed support services activities, informed socio-emo curriculum
Knowing your audience: Something we will all respond to who wants headlines? who will want to test your interpretation of the data? analyst not always best person to assess what is best for audience Examples of what we’ve learned through experience: JS 1. visuals count: double-check automated processes - e.g., Excel slide -------------- chart with wrong Y axis for percentile and correct Y axis -------------- slide ------------- USA today graphic or overly busy graphic or data heavy graphic -------- DSE 1. KIPP: Variation in slide decks on various benchmarks – differentiated according to audience 2. What I learned: started to write lots of “reports” or “white papers” at the beginning – truth is – power point often works best to make succinct, easy to digest points, and it’s easily shared.
Ensure participants feel the collective power and impact of our broader Team and Family and the overall movement by providing a powerful introduction and reconnection to KIPP Provide an opportunity for big KIPPsters to network and make connections with others by bringing communities together to share, reflect, and learn Provide an opportunity for personal learning and growth Kick off the 2009-2010 school year with high energy and building momentum towards the belief of what is possible for our kids and renewing our collective commitment to realizing these possibilities in our KIPP communities across the country.
