Program Administration & Evaluation

Program administration is tailored to the client and can cover a broad spectrum of the client’s needs:

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.

More [+/-]

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 following 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.

Information Insights staff provided superb event planning services in support of the Annual Alaska Health Summit.

Bristol Bay Region Visioning Project

April 28th, 2010

Information Insights will be helping Bristol Bay residents develop a region-wide vision. Five regional organizations – BBNC, BBNA, BBEDC, BBHA and BBAHC – are partnering to make the project happen. Information Insights will work to engage residents in every village in the region through community meetings to be held this fall and winter. At the meetings, Information Insights facilitators will seek to identify the underlying principles that unify the people of the region in order to develop a common vision that will give voice to their shared values. The visioning process will be transparent, neutral and inclusive for all residents of the region. Consensor™ audience response technology will be used to ensure that all participants have an equal voice. Lead project staff at Information Insights are senior consultants Sherry Modrow and Cady Lister and project consultants Jane Angvik and Dr. Steve Langdon. Other project staff include Brenda Holden, Chris Rogers and Jessica Holden. Jana Peirce will develop a project website and social media presence to reach out to younger Bristol Bay area residents.
