Improve Group Staff members Stacy Johnson, Jill Lipski Cain and Liz Radel Freeman recently posted on the American Evaluation Association (AEA) 365 Tip-A-Day email alerts.  Their topic is the community mapping data gathering method.  The AEA alerts highlight "hot tips, cool tricks, rad resources, and lessons learned for and from evaluators." These tips bring new information and skill-building ideas to the wide-ranging evaluation community. The community mapping topic was first presented by Jill and Stacy at the 2011 AEA Annual Conference. If you are interested in collaborative, effective and creative ways to engage stakeholders in the data collection process you can read the Tip here.  To view the entire community mapping PowerPoint presentation by the Improve Group, including mapping examples from our Minnesota State Health Improvement Program (SHIP) client project, click here and then on the attachment.
