Core Webinar: Logic Models: Your Strategic Magic Wand

Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: Funders are very interested in seeing a program logic model in
grant proposals, and program evaluators use logic models to guide their
work. Even funders who do not ask for them are delighted to see a logic
model! A logic model is a graphic depiction of the relationship among the
resources, activities, outputs, and outcomes of your program. It shows the
relationship between your program’s activities and its intended effects in
an implicit “if-then” relationship. However, logic models are often missing
or are unclear in proposals. Moreover, a program logic model makes your
program’s activities and anticipated outcomes transparent to everyone
involved with your library or library system (e.g., board members,
development team, evaluators, staff, community partners, funders, and
others). In this introductory session, you will learn the fundamentals of
logic models and think about how you can refine or develop your logic model
(starting with a theory of change) so that you will be able to (1)
confidently add them to your proposals and stand out from the crowd and (2)
have clear direction for program evaluation.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Learn the key components of a theory of change and logic model.

Karen L. Drill, PhD, leads the Drill Consulting Group LLC in Red Lodge,
Montana, where she specializes in mixed methods applied research and
