The Evaluation Advisory Committee monitors progress toward meeting the objectives of Cancer Plan Minnesota. It is also responsible for ensuring the overall quality and usefulness of evaluation data obtained; that those evaluation findings are used to inform decisions; and reporting results to Alliance members and stakeholders. The Evaluation Advisory Committee reviews MCA operations, MCA-sponsored projects, and MCA outcomes.

Meetings will take place via e-mail, conference calls and/or in-person and will occur about six times per year. Committee members are asked to serve for one year and can be renewed.
