A Turning Point team including Carol Allen, Oregon Turning Point Partnership, and Andrea M. Hoplight, Bernalillo County Partnership in New Mexico, participated in a working conference on evaluation, Evaluating Community-Based Health Initiatives: Dilemmas, Puzzles, Innovation, and Promising Directions, sponsored in part by The California Wellness Foundation. This conference convened program operators, funders, and evaluators to explore methods of measuring processes of community activation and decision-making, which are often overlooked in traditional program evaluation.
