In episode 134 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, host Carol Hamilton welcomes guest Kayla Meyers, founder of Bridgepoint Evaluation, for a conversation about reimagining program evaluation in nonprofits.
They discuss:

It should be a collaborative, curiosity-driven process that opens communication, supports learning, and improves impact.
How to create right-sized, useful evaluation practices rooted in strategy and driven by purpose.
How evaluation can be a force for good—helping organizations tell fuller, more meaningful stories about their work and the communities they serve.
