Program Spotlight

Program Evaluation

 

"Not many organizations really commit themselves so seriously and so completely to evaluation as Morrison has."

- Charles Rooks, former Executive Director  

Meyer Memorial Trust

 

Program Evaluation is an essential part of Morrison's services. For more than 30 years, Morrison has collected and analyzed data in order to evaluate the effectiveness of programs, guide program modifications and maintain a high level of integrity and accountability to both our clients and funders. We have experience in evaluating many different program types, assessing a wide range of clients and collecting and analyzing a variety of data.

 

How does evaluation make a difference?

  • Determines program effectiveness
  • Identifies training needs and quality-improvement areas
  • Documents outcomes for funders and program management
  • Builds a quality-improvement culture using outcomes as tools to improve practice
  • Records quality results in order to expand service opportunities
  • Demonstrates fidelity in use of evidence-based practices

Taste: The Experience event on  

March 27th!

 

Do you love cooking shows? Do you love competitive cooking shows? Does Bravo's "Top Chef Masters" get your adrenaline pumping during the culinary challenges? Portland's own Chef Naomi Pomeroy of Beast was recently announced as a competitor in Season 3 of "Top Chef Masters." We are thrilled to have Chef Pomeroy kick off our first ever Taste: The Experience event with her restaurant Beast! The event will include a butchery course, and the cuts of meat will be used to create a stunning dinner accompanied by Adelsheim Vineyard wines.  

 

Experience Chef Pomeroy before the rest of the nation learns about this finalist for the James Beard Best Chef Northwest award.
