Hello,
Since January of 2022, Partnerships For Health has been implementing the BUDDIES (Building Utilization-focused Developmental Disabilities Impact Evaluation Skills) Project, aimed at building evaluation skills and capacity among Councils and staff through training
sessions. While evaluation results highlight that Councils’ are indeed increasing their knowledge, as we move into Year 4 of BUDDIES, we want to be sure we are helping you all put this improved evaluation knowledge into practice.
To kick off the new year, we are asking you to take 5 minutes to complete a brief survey to prioritize your evaluation training needs and tell BUDDIES what you really want to learn about. Your input will identify the topics of focus during Year 4 and help the
BUDDIES team develop sample tools and resources on those topics to support you all in putting evaluation into practice.

HERE to take the survey now or copy
and paste the link below into your browser. The survey will be open until end-of-day on Friday, January 31. Please feel free to forward the survey to other staff at your Council for them to provide their input as well.
In February, Councils will be invited to participate in an interactive discussion to review the survey results and finalize a plan for sessions moving forward into 2025. We hope you all will participate in the survey and February discussion – it’s up to you
to share your thoughts so you can get the most out of the BUDDIES sessions!
Happy 2025!
