Mel Mark, one of the leaders in the field of Evaluation and Professor  
of Psychology at Penn State University will pose provocative questions  
for planners, policy makers, researchers and evaluators.

Key Questions of the Workshop:
-How can evaluations be designed to have maximal impact on social  
decision making?
-How do ideas of influence relate to decisions regarding rigor?
-In what different ways do evaluations contribute to beliefs and  
actions that spark social change?

The presentation will be followed by responses from Canadian leaders  
in the policy and practice communities in the audience. The event will  
be highly interactive with ample opportunity for dialogue about  
experiences as well as a forum for questions about accountability and  
evaluative learning. The workshop will provide a space to discuss the  
ways in which evaluative thinking and evaluation approaches can help  
address a range of policy issues and community problems.
