Join us on May 30th for our interactive Learning Series Session: Demystifying Equitable Evaluation Practices.
We will tackle key questions like:
- What do you want to evaluate and how is it meaningful to your mission?
- Who should be involved in the evaluation process and how can they be engaged?
- What do you count as credible data and evidence?
In a conversation hosted by Spring Point Partners’ Chief Learning Officer Uva Coles, guests Claire Robertson-Kraft, Candace Kenyatta, and Wendy McClanahan will guide a conversation on more thoughtful, innovative ways of thinking about evaluation. Additionally, practitioners George Reuter and Daria Waite will share their learnings and reflections on their organizations’ implementation experiences along the journey to build more equitable evaluation practices.
This session will explore questions about the purpose and practice of evaluation, as well as the roles communities can play in the process. Ideal for anyone responsible for building or executing evaluation practices within their organization, this session will be fully interactive and will include breakout rooms and a dynamic Q&A.

In 2016, the Equitable Evaluation Initiative (EEI) was launched as a collaborative effort to explore and advance a new way of thinking about evaluation. EEI challenged conventional evaluation orthodoxies, including the emphasis on traditional notions of objectivity and rigor, and called for a new set of principles rooted in equity. Ultimately, equitable evaluation is about people. While traditional evaluation situates the evaluator as the expert, equitable evaluation honors the authentic expertise and lived experiences of those most impacted by the evaluation.
