Demystifying the Program Evaluation Process for Community Responder Programs

Past Event
June 25, 2025, 2:00pm - 3:30pm, Eastern

Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the Center for Policing Equity

Join us for a fieldwide webinar on practical guidance for program evaluation cohosted by the CSG Justice Center and the Center for Policing Equity. The webinar will feature a panel discussion with speakers who are highly experienced in data and evaluation best practices who will share examples of how they leverage data to ensure program success and sustainability. Participants will have a chance to ask an evaluator and a community response program leader about their experiences and recommendations to help demystify the evaluation process.   

We’ll also celebrate the completion of our Unlocking Democracy 3.0 learning community series. The webinar will showcase highlights from our Data Connections series, as well as uplift key takeaways from our other four learning community cohorts: substance use, community violence intervention, youth crisis response, and HBCU crisis response.   

Speakers 

  • Amy Barden, EdD, Chief, City of Seattle, Community Assisted Response & Engagement
  • Jason Lerner, JD, MSW, Director of Programs, University of Chicago Health Lab
