David Chavis to present at the AEA Conference
Community Science's David Chavis will address ways to make a large scale impact on complex social problems in communities, when he presents at a session called Community as Context: Evaluation of Comprehensive Community Initiatives, at November's American Evaluation Association (AEA) conference.
Dr. Chavis and Tina Trent, now with NeighborWorks, co-authored Scope, Scale, and Sustainability: What It Takes to Create Lasting Community Change, which was published in the Winter edition of The Foundation Review. In the article, 11 comprehensive community initiatives were reviewed to identify factors related to scale, scope and sustainability. Dr. Chavis will discuss how these three factors are influenced by community characteristics. Community Science conducted this study as part of a contract from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
