. Directions to the meeting location are at the end of this e-mail. Building strong “infrastructure” and “capacity” among state programs are fundamental to the success of many CDC programs. Yet defining, measuring, and monitoring and evaluating generic concepts like these raise persistent challenges. The presenters will discuss how CDC’s Division of Oral Health (DOH) approached this challenge, and, in particular the qualitative methods they employed. The efforts to date have yielded insights from within and across states related to integration, leveraging, leadership, networks and partnerships, that may have implications for how other programs can address the challenge of evaluating these concepts. Directions: Century Center, Building 2400 is at 2400 Century Parkway, Atlanta, 30345; near the intersection of I-85 and Clairmont Road. Take I-85 to the Clairmont Road exit. Head west on Clairmont (past McDonald's and Sam's Club) to the next light at Century Boulevard. Make a right onto Century Boulevard and proceed to stop sign at Century Parkway (Marriott Hotel is at this intersection). Make a left. The parking lot for Building 2400 is the first entrance on your right. Come to the guard desk and wait for escort. Parking Note: Please park in the surface parking lots. CDC ID badges will not give access to the parking ramp adjacent to the building. |

 Thank you for your continued support of AaEA. Over the past year, your involvement has enabled us to provide an amazing number of professional development opportunities - and the organization has grown tremendously.
AaEA was established to enhance the professional life of evaluators in the Atlanta area and provide a forum for learning, and exchanging ideas and resources. To meet these goals, we welcome your involvement through our meetings, workshops, social and special events, and committee membership. There are numerous ways, large and small, to contribute and support AaEA as well as our evaluation community in Atlanta (see ‘Ways to Get Involved’): If you like to chat, join the Communications Committee to keep AaEA members connected, promote learning and sharing resources by writing an article for the newsletter, and identify evaluation resources and tools to share with others. If you like meeting new people, consider joining the Membership Committee to help encourage new membership and orient new members to the organization. If you’re finance savvy, our Finance Committee could use your help with making critical resource decisions over the course of the year. If you want to help promote evaluation and learning, join the New Evaluators and Training Committees and help organize AaEA’s professional development workshops. If you are a social butterfly, we hope you consider becoming a part of the Networking Committee and organize events to build the evaluation network and promote casual learning. If you have a special area of interest, join one of our special interest groups (SIG) (e.g., International Evaluation, and Evaluation Capacity Building in the Non-profits) so you can meet others who share similar interests. And, if you have another area of interest, why don’t you start a SIG?
