Real Evaluation

Join us in a few hours to hear how we as evaluators need to meet this moment in human and environmental history: by getting equity and sustainability on the agenda every time - without breaking the budget and without being just checkboxy about it! Yes, really! We have lots of ideas and tools you can start using now. 💡

Wow, this was a GREAT session today! Colombia's Department of National Planning shared reflections from the early part of their journey, starting to bring environmental sustainability into their evaluation work. Andy Rowe, Thomaz Chianca, and I are delighted to be alongside them on this important work! A recording of the session in Spanish, including Spanish interpretation for the English language segments, is available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDOlRCZebBA

I was so, so thrilled and honored to be there with the incredible Hazel Symonette as she received the Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award this year for her phenomenal contributions to evaluation theory. Long overdue recognition. She is the 36th person to receive the award, but only the 6th woman, and the very first woman of color. About damn time, AEA.

Another person who will be smiling about this from above is the man who helped set the nomination process in motion with Karen Kirkhart, the much loved and missed Stafford Hood. I was incredibly honored to be invited to write a letter of support.

Congratulations, Hazel!! ❤️
