Susan Kistler on Handouts from the 2011 AEA/CDC Summer Evaluation Institute

I am Susan Kistler, AEA’s Executive Director, and the aea365 contributor for each Saturday. Today, I want to share with you items in the AEA Public eLibrary from a selection of sessions at the 2011 AEA/CDC Summer Evaluation Institute. These are handouts and slides from the 40+ workshops, pre-Institute day-long trainings, and keynotes offered this past June in Atlanta to the 550 colleagues who came together for 3.5 days of training. Posting items is completely at the presenter’s discretion and we want to extend AEA’s sincere thanks to all of those who so graciously shared their knowledge, expertise, and materials!
