Initial Invitation Email

Email Subject Header: Seeking your feedback about Center for States services 

Hello [Insert Jurisdiction Lead Name], 

I am a member of the Center for States evaluation team, and I am reaching out to invite you to participate in a virtual interview with us to learn more about your experiences with the Tailored Service project: [Insert jurisdiction-project title]. 

We conduct annual interviews for each Tailored Service project, generally near the end of a one-year work plan or when the project ends, as part of our efforts to evaluate service delivery and project outcomes. These interviews are conducted over the phone and last about 45-60 minutes. We will send questions covered during the interview to you before the interview so you know what is being asked and can prepare your responses. The feedback you share with us will be held private and any reporting of results will be in aggregate and will not specifically identify you.   

Please let us know if you would like to participate in an interview by responding to this email with a few dates/times that are convenient for you over the next few weeks. We will then schedule the interview and send you a calendar appointment with additional details. Thank you for considering this request, and we look forward to your participation and feedback. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. 

Thanks, 

[Insert Center for States Staff Name]
