SUMMARY:Data Visualization
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Evaluation Society Manitoba Chapter in partnership with the United Way Winnipeg is hosting a six-part workshop on evaluation tools. Each session is tailored to equip nonprofit professionals with the hands-on expertise and insights needed to develop\, carry out\, and assess robust evaluations.

The session will include a combination of instruction\, interactive exercises\, and opportunities for discussion. \nRegister for the workshop here
