The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) is pleased to invite you to join us at our Understanding, Accessing, and Applying Evidence in California Counties workshop. It is becoming more common for grants and funding sources to ask government agencies to report on evidence-based practices. How do you ensure that there is evidence behind the practice or program you want to fund? Come and learn how to apply evidence in county decision making.
The workshop will focus on three main components:
Defining evidence and evidence-based
Sharing tools to access and assess evidence
Discussing practical strategies for using evidence in county decision making
If you have any questions, please contact Amalia Mejia, Project Manager, CSAC Results First at amejia@counties.org.
