Description

The conference planning committee, consisting of some members of the NWC, worked with a graduate student from the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs to design an evaluation survey to be completed by conference attendees. Over 290 women were registered to attend the event and 169 completed the evaluation survey. In November and December, the GFWC Nevis Women’s Club conducted three focus groups (two in-person and one virtually) as follow-ups to the evaluation.
