2010 Decisions cluster accomplishments discussion: Contributions to last 3 ESIP meetings including an end-user/decision maker focused breakout in the Winter of 2010 and Summer of 2010 and an Evaluation workshop in Winter 2011.
Moving forward in 2011:
- Continue to support evaluation theme and follow up with Anne Doucette
- Help connect members to additional evaluation resources, including the Environmental
Evaluation Network event in D.C (Ana is on planning committee and will provide more details soon)
- Begin a repository of Case Study success stories in utilization of data for decision-support with measurable positive impacts for societal benefit(e.g. economic benefits, etc.). Encourage others ESIP-wide to contribute Case Studies (and other clusters). Post list of Case Studies on Decisions web page. Use case studies to contribute to monthly ESIP newsletter
- Begin building a package of best-practices - meant to be a working document- for how to incorporate evaluation into project/program management, including resources for how to find an evaluator etc. Host on Decisions wiki page for all to contribute.
