How can I be sure that my projects will reach the right audience and have the right impact? What can I do to make sure that my efforts go beyond “preaching to the choir”?
If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, the NOAA Coastal Services Center Project Design and Evaluation Course is the course for you! Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program is pleased to offer this course with The Blair Foundation and Florida Sea Grant College Program.
The three-day course provides coastal resource management extension and education professionals with the knowledge, skills and tools to design and implement projects that have measurable impacts on the audience they want to reach.

• Explain the role of logic models in project design and evaluation and create logic models for their projects.
