Logic Models as a Comprehensive Tool for Attaining Programmatic Success – Wednesday, June 24th at 1:30 – 2:45 pm EST

We will also discuss how these visual tools can be used to help you achieve not only fundraising success, but also consensus among your community of stakeholders, a design and an implementation plan for your program, and an evaluation model that can support your organization’s future success.

Materials will be made available on June 10th to attendees to gain the full benefit of the webinar.
