Do you find it difficult to ensure that you are keeping your stakeholders up to date throughout your program? In her AEA Summer Institute class entitled “An Executive Summary is Not Enough: Effective Evaluation Reporting Techniques,” Kylie Hutchinson from Community Solutions suggests a very interesting product for staying in touch with stakeholders. The product is Constant Contact, a tool that allows you to put the latest stats, activities, or planning updates into a newsletter format that goes into the body of an email, allowing stakeholders to easily stay updated on the progress of your program. In addition, you, the evaluator, get feedback on who opens the email and what they click on.
Here is a sample email created for free in just a few moments, showing NN/LM stakeholders what activities took place in May in an imaginary community college outreach project.
