Do you go by the attendance or do you try to capture something more meaningful? Do you try to get people to fill out an evaluation? I would love to hear from folks on how they decide whether something was valuable for their community and worth the effort and cost to provide. I know we have no shortage of ideas, which means that selecting what programming to provide is definitely helped when it's based on….something. The success, or failure, of a program would certainly be a factor. Beyond your spidey sense, how do you know, what is the data you collect, that tells you something soared or something bombed. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance!
