Most of you are aware that ITACC has contracted with Partnerships For Health (PFH) to develop and implement the Building Utilization-focused Developmental Disabilities Impact Evaluation Skills (BUDDIES) Project.

The BUDDIES Project provides evaluation technical assistance at both the organization and individual staff levels. Experienced evaluators will provide DDCs with the training and technical assistance needed for them to implement structural, system-level changes that increase their organizational evaluation capacity and increase DDC staff's evaluation skills and confidence.

In January many of you joined Partnerships of Health as they launched the first Project Echo Session of 2023.   Project ECHO is a one-hour training session that is held every two months hosted by Partnerships for Health from 2023 to 2026.

Our May BUDDIES Project session will be presented as part of TAI by subject matter experts Michelle Mitchell and Michelle Munsey.

Registration is still going strong, and you do not want to miss this opportunity.
