Hello OPHEN members,
This blog post is courtesy of the Canadian Evaluation Society-Ontario Chapter (CES-ON). We are excited by the opportunity to support OPHEN members, given our shared interest in evaluation. CES-ON is excited by the work OPHEN is doing to advance and promote evaluation as a key component of evidence-informed decision making in public health. CES-ON would like to share who we are and the benefits we offer to both CES-ON members and non-members!
