Encounter Measures Data on the Inform Dashboard

This article provides information about the Encounter Measures data on the Inform Dashboard. 

Summary Metrics provide the number of sessions and retreats that were actively running at some point during the time frame selected, the number of unique Encounter volunteers who served at any point during the time frame selected, and the number of unique participants who took part in an Encounter experience at any point during the time frame selected.

Of the total number of people who took part in an Encounter experience during the time frame selected, Encounter Transition Trends provides the number and percentage of people who continued on to an Encounter or Grow activity (also during the time frame selected). 

Of the total number of Encounter volunteers during the time frame selected, Transition Trends provides the percentage of people who had previously been a participant in an Encounter experience (also during the time frame selected) and transitioned from a participant to a volunteer.

Encounter Transition Trends

Note* Click on each statistic (13% and 0%) on the Encounter Transition Trends dashboard card to view a pop up card with an explanation of the data point. 
  

Of 52 total attendees of an Encounter experience over a 12 month period, 7 of those 52 people continued on to an additional Encounter or Grow Activity. There were zero attendees to report over the same period for 12 months prior, resulting in a 13% increase in people who continued to additional Grow or Encounter experiences over the previous 12 months.
 

Over the past 12 months 0% of the 17 participants transitioned from participant to volunteer, resulting in an increase of zero Encounter volunteers over the previous 12 months.
