The author was well-prepared.
The author was engaging.
The author was easy to work with.
My organization benefited from hosting the event.
Author events such as these are important for Indiana Humanities to support.
I would like to work with Indiana Humanities again in the future.
As you know, Indiana Humanities paid your author's speaking fees. About how much of its own money did your organization spend on the event? (Consider any author travel fees, the cost of refreshments and supplies, even the value of staff time spent planning and working at the event.) We often report to funders how much additional investment our support leverages, so this is important.(Required.)
