Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To improve the quality of life in our community, we will meet/exceed targets for participation in on-site classes, outreach and exhibition programs. We will survey as many participants as possible to determine changes that result as well as track participation and revenue by program. 2: Continue to enhance the quality and increase the number of education programs offered both on and off site. We will track the number of education programs and exhibits offered as well as rates of participation and retention. We will survey participants, instructors and community partners (as appropriate).

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participation totaled 7,572, a 3% increase over prior year with consistent, positive feedback. On-site registrations are entered into database with payment info. Outreach numbers are reported by instructors. Event participation is tracked with a clicker. Surveys are collected from participants, instructors and others, as appropriate. 2: While we did not significantly increase the number of classes offered or running, we did receive consistent high marks from participants. We track the number of programs offered and survey participants, instructors and others, as appropriate.
