As you write your SPIL, do you need additional information or clarification about how to write goals, objectives, measures, and an evaluation plan? Then you won't want to miss these two important webinars on Wednesday, April 21, and Wednesday, April 28, at 3:00 PM Eastern time. These one and one-half hour webinars will give you an opportunity to learn from Mike Hendricks and to address any questions you may have.

If you participated in SILC Congress training this year or if you have watched the video recordings of that training, then you know how thoroughly Mike addresses writing an outcomes-focused SPIL. These two supplemental webinars are an opportunity for you to clarify any remaining concerns.

If you did not participate in Las Vegas, and have not yet viewed the video recordings, we urge you to do so. The upcoming webinars supplement the video presentations, but do not replace them. Go to the recordings.

Target Audience

SILC Members, Executive Directors, and staff; and any partners responsible for SPIL development or implementation. 

Registration Fee: $75.00 per site. Fee does not apply per participant; registrants are encouraged to gather as many individuals as desired to participate by telephone or webinar.  We know some organizations need several weeks to cut checks – don’t let this stop you from registering! Register today and send payment as soon as you are able – even if you must wait until after the presentation.

Meet Your Presenter

Mike Hendricks received his Ph.D. in Methodology and Evaluation Research from Northwestern University, and ever since, he’s worked to help programs become as effective as possible.  In particular, Mike believes it’s very important that SILCs know exactly what we’re trying to achieve, have a way to measure how we’re doing, monitor our progress on a regular basis, and consistently use what we learn to improve our efforts.  He’s successfully used this approach with a wide variety of clients – governments at all levels (city, county, state, national), foundations, national nonprofit associations, and local service delivery agencies.

Mike is also a well-known and respected member of the program evaluation community.  A board member of the American Evaluation Association, he serves on the editorial board of the American Journal of Evaluation, speaks and publishes regularly, and is often invited to train others. 

PRESENTED BY SILC-NET: A program of the IL NET national training and technical assistance project for Centers for Independent Living (CIL-NET) and Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILC-NET). The IL NET is operated by ILRU, Independent Living Research Utilization, in partnership with the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) and the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL).
