The Michigan Association for Evaluation (MAE) is a local affiliate of the American Evaluation Association devoted to:
educating the public about the science and use of evaluation. MAE exists to promote evaluation in the State of Michigan. We convene the evaluation community (including evaluators, funders, and program users) to focus on how evaluation should be conducted and used. We strive to:

• Promote the implementation of state-of-the-art evaluation
  
• Build the competencies of the community
  
• Promote the use of evaluation to improve programs
  
• Cultivate evaluative thinking
