I asked Michael Quinn Patton what he thinks is the biggest challenge evaluators will face over the next five years.
He gave me a two part answer. This is the first part, and it inspired the above cartoon.
In the USA: Surviving Trump’s draconian government budget cuts. Evaluation and training units are easy targets and the first to go. I lived through this in the Reagan era.
This sounds distressingly familiar
Perfect! Would love to send to my nonprofit colleagues who are in the depths of this experience. Could you kindly correct the spelling of budget?
Funny story, I originally replaced the cartoon because I caught budget being misspelled…by the female character. I didn’t even notice I messed it up in the male characters text as well! Thanks for the heads up 🙂
