The arkansas service commission, will provide the following training and technical assistance activities with the commission investment funds: add onto the commission support grant a position of compliance/evaluation specialist. This position was created after the 2013 cncs/OIG audit to strengthen the commission policy and procedures. IT has been funded as match by the division of community service and nonprofit support. We are now wanting to bring this position to be supported by the commission support grant through the CIF. Continue to evaluate the commission logic model. A pilot study/needs assessment led to the creation of an evidenced based high performing logic model. We want to continue this project by bringing in evaluation consultants to fully implement an expanded logic model and to offer these studies/methods to other state commissions. The arkansas service commission is requesting $60,200. To support training and technical assistance activities. The arkansas service commission does not intend to apply to host a regional national service training conference in 2017.
