Sessions
and Speakers Lunch Keynote Dr. Penna is an International Coordinator consultant for Charity Navigator on grants and performance measures and also serves on its advisory board. He is also the Program Developer for Family & Children’s Services of Albany, NY. Prior to his current roles Robert was a senior consultant to The Rensselaerville Institute, where he facilitated seminars at the Institute’s The Center for Outcomes and worked on various other projects. Track 1 In this era of massive government retrenching and widespread rejection, in the US, of the idea that government should provide social services, the role of the not-for-profit or “social sector” has become even more critical for marginalized, structurally disadvantaged or otherwise “at risk” individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. If the social sector is to become a reliable means for providing services that make needed differences in the lives of people who need then, two things need to change:
David Hunter, Ph.D. is an international consultant
who works with direct service agencies (both
not-for-profit and public) and funders on
building their capacities for strategic performance
management and effective social investing.
Throughout Dr. Hunter’s track, attendees will
be exposed to the essentials of effective
social investing and the path to the production
of social value – from performance data demonstrating
outcomes to evaluation data proving impact. Track 2 Common sense and history tells us that communities are served best, and investments in communities achieve the greatest impact, when multiple stakeholders align their efforts. Indeed, the chronic poverty and other related and seemingly intractable barriers to opportunity that confront our most distressed communities simply do not lend themselves to singular programs – they demand integrated, multi-faceted strategies and, therefore, collaboration. Throughout this track, Phil Lee, President of the Results Leadership Group, will explain Results Based Accountability™ (RBA), a strategic framework for managing collaborations with the rigor necessary to achieve measureable improvements for communities and customers. Mr. Lee will also share the Results Scorecard™, web-based software integrated with ETO software to support the use of RBA in collaborations. Mr. Lee has applied RBA to help the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration design and implement a performance review system for $6 billion in grants to 3,000 grantees nationwide; to guide Maryland’s General Assembly and Executive in designing and implementing a comprehensive strategy that in nine years improved from 50 to 80 percent the children entering kindergarten fully ready statewide; and to support numerous other collaborations at Federal, state and local levels across governments and communities in topics including school readiness, health disparities, domestic violence, biomedical research, intelligence, juvenile justice, public safety, and economic self-sufficiency.
