NAWRS is a non-profit association whose purpose is to promote
the exchange of ideas on how research and statistical
analysis can contribute to the development and
administration of effective human
services programs.
We have received many great proposals for the 2019 NAWRS Workshop. We will have presentations on topics including child support, coaching, early childhood education, child care, foster care, substance abuse, trauma-informed services, reentry service coordination, behavior interventions, workforce programs including SNAP E&T, and career pathways among others. Additionally, we have several exciting Research Academy sessions to discuss how to incorporate rigorous research methods into ongoing agency efforts to improve and document program effectiveness. All proposal submissions will be notified of their acceptance by May 1, 2019.
NAWRS will also have several very informative plenary sessions that address the workshop’s theme: Collaborating Across Lines to Build Up Lives.
Dates and TimeThe workshop will open with a Presidential cocktail reception at 5 PM on Sunday, July 28. It will conclude at lunchtime on Wednesday, July 31. We hope you will be able to join for the entire event! A detailed schedule will be posted soon. |

Michael Bono TributeMichael Bono joined the NAWRS Board of Directors in 2004 and served tirelessly as President in 2010 and again in 2014 and 2015. He continued to work on NAWRS behind the scenes until cancer took him from us in 2016. We are so grateful to have known this warm, selfless, charismatic dynamo with a boundless heart for the less fortunate.
We hope you enjoy this heart-warming tribute to Michael. Friends and colleagues shared some of their favorite memories during an informal gathering to honor him at the NAWRS 2017 Workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Once you have some experience with NAWRS committees, you might consider running for a position on the Board. This “working Board” manages the Association and its activities. Members participate in monthly conference call meetings and attend annual or bi-annual in-person workshops. The benefits of being a Board member include close and direct contact with other research and evaluation professionals across the country and the ability to ensure representation of your state or organization in the planning of the NAWRS workshop. There are no monetary costs associated with Board membership beyond workshop attendance.
