Join the Hennepin-University Partnership for a professional development workshop with Scott Chazdon, Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota Extension. Scott will introduce and demonstrate Ripple Effect Mapping (REM), a participatory method for conducting evaluation that engages program and community stakeholders to visually map the chain of effects resulting from a program or collaboration. REM is a powerful technique to document the impacts of a project or program and engages and re-energizes community members, making it "a great addition to the evaluator's toolbox."
