But, there was a few of the programs that seemed the Executive Director did not seem as concerned about. I personally see as that a large issue because all four of those programs needs the same attention to make sure that employees and managers are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Another, issue that is needs some attention is the fundraising issues. “Nonprofit organization are finically dependent on both the government and donors from fundraisers” (Worth, 2014). The center has not made the fundraising goal and I see that as issue because that is extra money that can go to other things the community

1.) Why do you believe the RES Hawk Experience and the learning goals: Well-Being, Identity, Inclusive Communities, Take Action and Global Context are important to our residential community? All those attributes and experiences are skills that people need to develop, live, and used in their everyday life. When these certain skills are mastered I believe that the community itself can take on any challenge that comes in their way. 2.)
1. - A: Outcomes for a Public Administration (whether standalone or blended) program would be: Employment Status after Graduation 1 – B: Upon graduation students who attend blended model MPA programs are more likely to apply for positions in both private and public sectors, whereas students from a standalone MPA program will apply for positions only within their sector. Independent Variable: Graduation from an MPA program Dependent Variable: Sector Positions applied for Values: Public Sector, Private Sector, and Nonprofit Sector 1 – C: For the independent variable of graduating from an MPA program is operationalized by completing the program and meeting all the requirements set by the program for graduation. The dependent variable would require asking participants to share what type of positions they had applied for upon completing the program. This could be done through a survey asking if past students had applied for positions within the 3 sectors. Both of these measures hold face validity.
A policy argument is the major vehicle for communication policy-relevant information and an important source of knowledge in reference to how policies are made and put into effect. The ability to organize, structure, and evaluate a policy argument is crucial to critical analytical thinking. (Dunn, 2012) The purpose of the two policy argument maps is to compare and contrast different modes of reasoning framing policy problems, which arise at all stages of the policy delivery process.
Human Service Program Evaluation Brooke Greene Kaplan University HN410: Human Services Delivery Dr. Annette Love October 27, 2015 In this assignment I will design and execute my own evaluation for Veteran Affairs homeless program. In this program the VA believes that no veteran should be without a home. This program is through Hunter Holmes McGuire and is run by social workers. During my research I spoke with a Social Worker that works in this program, her name is Ms. Terry.
It will allow the stakeholders, implementers and veterans’ time to witness the operations of the program. At the end of the calendar year the program will be evaluated but an external source. External evaluators are hired from an organization that is separate from the evaluated organization. While external evaluators can be seen as detached, I believe an external evaluator can provide an objective view of the program that otherwise would not be possible. The evaluator can find issues in the program that those internally may not be able to see or even refuse to acknowledge a problem.
As well as knowing which program can meet the needs for them in terms of benefit, cost, and burden (Holden, et al., 2015). The social determinants of the individuals are explained by
While there is agreement that a program is needed, there is no consensus on how the program would be structured and implemented. Aon found that when employers were asked about their opinions on a fully government-run program, as well as a government-mandated employer-run program, employers were undecided. However, it was clear that employers would prefer a dedicated funding approach to one where funding came from general revenues or led to reductions in other program
To access the merit or value of government policies and programs as well as proposed policy alternatives, citizens, analysts, and policymakers need to consider four criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and political feasibility (Kraft and Furlong, 2013, p.31). Kraft and Furlong (2013) explain that “effectiveness refers to whether a current policy or program or one that is being considered is likely to work, efficiency refers to what a policy or policy proposal costs in relation to its expected benefits to society, equity refers to the consideration of what constitutes a fair or equitable policy choice, and political feasibility concerns how government officials and other policy actors appraise
Conceptual Understanding of political regime The word regime refers to a set of circumstances, most frequently of a political nature, such as a government. In politics, a regime is the form of government or the set of rules, cultural or social norms, etc. that regulate the operation of a government or institution and its interactions with society. While the word regime originates as a synonym for any form of government, modern usage often gives the term a negative connotation, implying an authoritarian government or dictatorship.
