2005 Southeast Evaluation Association Annual Conference ~Tallahassee, Florida
The Children's Board of Hillsborough County is a public independent taxing authority that funds programs that serve children and youth. It has an extensive and well trained professional staff, several of whom are charged with providing training and technical assistance to grantee organizations in numerous areas, including program evaluation. This presentation will describe the use of a "train the trainer" model in empowerment evaluation for staff and the complexities of this model when the empowerment evaluator is also a representative of the funding agency responsible for contract management and oversight. This presentation will also provide the grantee perspective.

Qualitative Visual Archiving is an ethnographic method that brings together the power of pictures with descriptive text. Through visual representation and journaling, a program s people, places, events and activities are captured in photographs and stories. Qualitative Visual Archives (QVAs) consist of pictures and memorabilia with journaling organized in memory albums, scrapbooks, or photo albums. Photos and stories provide data from personal accounts of experiences and express results of the program in people s own words. Digital presentations and videos are other forms of Qualitative Visual Archiving, but require additional expertise and expense. Production, assembly and analysis of visual forms provide a different perspective on program activities and are a powerful method of documentation. Qualitative Visual Archiving is especially useful when other types of data are not available and is an inexpensive and effective method of process evaluation.
2004 American Evaluation Association Annual Conference ~
Atlanta, Ga.
This presentation describes a philosophical shift we have experienced as a funding organization. This shift refers to a number of changes that relate to moving from a hierarchical service funding model to a partnership model that recognizes the interdependence of the funding agency and provider’s success. We will explore the CB’s non-traditional use of funds that refers to using dollars historically spent on direct services in creative ways that multiply the power of the outcomes achieved with the dollars by maximizing revenue and strengthening our providers partners. In using a Participatory Partnership model we are: Building capacity and recognizing that in order for our providers and partners to be most effective we need to look at supporting them in all kinds of ways. We are also focusing on Continuous Quality Improvement, which involves changing from our evaluation requirements being seen as an external funding agency requirement to being seen and used as a inherent, valued CQI mechanism.
