2008 (December) Roundtable: "Impact Matters"
Great Bay hosted a Roundtable discussion for grantees and other members
of the Great Bay Network at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel on December
4th, the day prior to its annual conference. The topic was “Impact
Matters.”
The topic was chosen to help prepare attendees for Catherine Clarke’s
keynote presentation, “Social Impact Assessment: language, process,
output/impact indicators, monetization, best practices.” Roundtable
guests discussed ways in which they are and/or would like to measure
their organizations’ social impact. This was not an exercise in
critical analysis but rather designed for information and resource
sharing among others dealing with the same challenges regarding impact
assessment. Strategies that have worked as well as what was learned
from ones that have not, were shared, and attendees came away better
equipped to deal with this important issue and ready to articulate
their concerns in Catherine Clark's interactive Q & A.
