Transformation in Evaluators’ Roles: Reflections from CES 2017 Presenters
The CES BC-Yukon Chapter is hosting a free webinar to share reflections from a handful of presentations from the upcoming CES 2017 Conference. These presentations share a common focus on the shifting role of the evaluator in the assessment of innovative or evolving programs that exist within complex and dynamic environments. Each presenter will provide a brief presentation, followed by a question and answer period. Presenters’ bios and summaries of their presentations will be released shortly.
