Kylie Hutchinson, BSc, CE, principal consultant with Community Solutions, combines her formal education and expertise in program evaluation and program sustainability assessment planning with thirty years experience working in both the not-for-profit and public sector as a consultant, trainer, program manager, board member, and volunteer. Kylie has conducted dozens of evaluations varying in scope

and complexity that have yielded timely, relevant, and actionable recommendations for her clients. She has worked both domestically and internationally for a wide variety of organizations. Kylie also has a strong background in training and facilitation. She is well-known across North America for her popular webinars and workshops (see Praise) and is an innovative and engaging public speaker. From 2005 to 2011 she delivered the Canadian Evaluation Society's Essential Skills Series in British Columbia and has developed an eLearning module in evaluation for the Public Health Agency of Canada. She holds a diploma in Instructional Design and is a former instructor at the Justice Institute of British Columbia's Instructor Development Program where she taught courses in instructional design, instructional assessment, evaluating training programs, and conducting needs assessments. In 2016 she published the guidebook for nonprofits, Survive and Thrive: Three Steps to Securing Your Program's Sustainability. Another area of interest is designing practical tools and resources for evaluators and not-for-profits. She is currently developing a mobile learning app in evaluation for senior decision-makers, a multi-lingual version of the popular Evaluation Glossary Mobile App, a short primer on effective evaluation reporting, and a multi-authored collection of lessons from evaluation mistakes. Prior to founding Community Solutions, Kylie managed an employment-training program for the Immigrant Services Society of BC, worked as Development Manager for the Evergreen Foundation, and conducted research for the Institute for Risk Research, Health Canada Bureau of Communicable Disease Epidemiology, and the Metropolitan Toronto District Health Council.
