Metric Review Schedule

The program runs on an annual cycle, so evaluation, adjustment/review will be visited annually.

Reporting Results

  • Number of partners
  • Number of renewals

Limited ability to tie in career events.

Financial Impact

When established, this program should generate in excess of $85,000 to $125,000 annually, once a critical mass is reached. More importantly it will generate additional investment interaction with sponsors that should lead to larger program support with direct program support and in-kind donations.
