The brown-bag luncheon will feature Dr. Lehn E. Benjamin, George Mason University Assistant Professor of Non-Profit Management Studies, who will deliver a talk entitled "Measuring Success: An Introduction to Outcome Measurement & Program Evaluation." 

Attendees will learn the difference between evaluation and outcome measurement, approaches to these key activities and common pitfalls for nonprofits using outcome measurement or other evaluation approaches. In addition, they'll have a chance to network with staff from other area nonprofits. It's free to attend this first Nonprofit Forum -- just bring your lunch, and we'll provide drinks and snacks. Space is limited.
