pg. 78 Checklists to Go – cont’d Evaluation Forms (see pp. 69–70 for more background) When meeting organizers have not covered this base, bring evaluation forms and distribute them prior to your presentation. To create a form for your presentation, consider the question categories and sample language below: Category Clarity Relevance Length Interaction with presenter Interaction with audience Quality of visuals Quality of handouts Platform skills Sample Language for Evaluation Form Was the material presented in a clear and well-structured manner? Do you see ways to use the information presented in your work? Was the time allotted sufficient for the material covered? Did you have sufficient time to interact with the presenter? Did you have sufficient time to interact with other members of the audience? How would you rate the quality of any supporting visuals (e.g., PowerPoint)? How would you rate the quality of any handouts? Was the presenter effective in engaging the audience and making the subject matter compelling?
Appendix Survey Methodology and Results Survey design The survey was posted on Edge Research’s web site on January 5, 2005. It contained 43 questions mostly in the closed-ended format, as well as open-ended questions that would give respondents greater latitude with their feedback. Questions ranged from the very specific (e.g., “How long is the average presentation you attend?”) to the more subjective (e.g., “How often do you think you learn something valuable?”). As noted earlier, respondents were asked not only to evaluate presentations they had attended, but those they had given as well. Most of the questions asked about presentations observed were repeated in the section on presentations given. Finally, we asked respondents to list the names of the best speakers they had seen, which helped us find some of the experts who contributed their insights and recommendations to this book. Respondents To drive qualified respondents (i.e., full-time employees of nonprofits, foundations, government agencies or educational institutions) to the web to complete the questionnaire, Cause Communications and I contacted dozens of organizations that regularly communicate with this audience. We asked for their help publicizing the online survey, and just about everyone we spoke with was willing to pitch in. Statewide nonprofit associations in California, Florida, New York, and elsewhere sent e-mail alerts to their affiliates or ran items in newsletters. The 10 foundations that funded this book were among the nearly 30 philanthropies that used their networks to alert colleagues, grantees, and others. And too many friends to name here helped get our message out via listservs that reached thousands in the public interest community. In just three months, this outreach generated 2,501 completed surveys. Respondents came from all over the U.S. 27% 15% 27% 30% SURVEY RESPONSE – BY REGION pg. 79
