Program Administration & Evaluation
Program administration is tailored to the client and can cover a broad spectrum of the client’s needs:
- Meeting and conference planning and facilitation
- Membership management
- Technical assistance
- Grant program administration
- Accounting, reporting and reconciliation
We provide year-round program administration and conference planning for several organizations, including the Alaska Public Health Association and the Alaska Tobacco Control Alliance. As part of our services, we provide membership management, including elections, award nominations, and
communication coordination among full membership, committees, leadership and ongoing inquiries.
For these and other clients, we help plan and facilitate face-to-face meetings and annual conferences, as well as teleconferences and work groups meetings. Our team is experienced in pre-event and on-site logistics coordination, including managing catering and audio/tech needs. We offer website management, often including online registration and payment processes
The Information Insights team has extensive expertise in organizational analysis and program evaluation techniques. We have completed many projects that have included one or more of the folowing components :
- Program design
- Program implementation
- Comprehensive program evaluation
- Organizational analysis
- Development of outcome measurements
- Outcome evaluation
In 2004, we designed an evaluation and rating system to improve the delivery of child care in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The project required the development of manuals and assessment tools for raters, and public education and outreach materials for parents and providers. The project raised the quality of childcare for over a thousand children in the Fairbanks North Star Borough in one year. This astonishing change occurred in a very short amount of time and the results are backed by excellent data.
While planning the Alaska Tobacco Summit, the Information Insights team worked well with all of the planners, assuring that their voices were heard and that work was completed.

Ellen Ganley presenting at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce
Information Insights and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center are partnering to conduct a survey of Fairbanks residents on how they plan to cope with high energy costs this winter.
The survey will be conducted in two parts, an initial survey this fall to gather information about how residents are planning to handle the rising cost of energy, and a follow-up survey in the spring to find out how higher energy costs actually impacted residents.
Chris Rogers controlling the Consensor presentation
We announced this survey at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 during a Chamber Spotlight on Information Insights.

Study Released: Role of Oil and Gas in Alaska’s Economy
June 30th, 2008
The Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) released a study today on the role of oil and gas in Alaska’s economy. Information Insights and the McDowell Group collaborated on the research, which used 2007 industry data to update a study the two firms published in 2001. The 2008 report expands on the earlier work quantifying the economic role of the oil and gas industry on specific regions within the state including the Municipality of Anchorage, FNSB, KPB, Mat-Su Borough, North Slope Borough, and the Valdez region, and examining direct, indirect and induced economic effects of the industry in these regions and communities. Brian Rogers presented the study findings at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce’s Monday Forum. An overview of the results appears on the AOGA website. Download the full report (large file).
