2020 CONFERENCE

In May, The Michigan Association for Evaluation postponed our 25th annual conference in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We greatly understand the energy that's been altered given the cancellation of our traditional face-to-face conference, however we have been working collaboratively with presenters to assure you're provided with a valuable opportunity.

We are excited to announce the MAE Virtual Conference Series, Elevate How We Evaluate. This virtual series consists of six standalone 45-60 minute professional development sessions running from July through September. The sessions cover a wide range of evaluation topics from equitable approaches to evaluation, to assessing the fidelity of implementation, to data visualization. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate how you evaluate! 

NOTE: We encourage non-members to please consider paying the $10 registration fee, if they are able. MAE incurs significant operating costs each year and the annual in-person conference, which we had to cancel, is an important source of revenue.

Registration information included below:

    Keynote: dr. monique liston, Ubuntu Research & Evaluation

    In the tapestry of systems-level evaluation, the Michigan Association for Evaluation (MAE) invites a diverse spectrum of stakeholders, ranging from evaluators and students to community members and funders, to embark on a journey with us. Together we will explore how systems-level evaluation can transform our understanding and practice of evaluation itself, in addition to promoting social change and betterment.

    Systems-level evaluation assists all stakeholders in navigating the complexities of context, collaborating, and measuring systemic impact. A key aspect of this approach challenges us to reduce silos by working across disciplines and organizations; collaborate and co-create with community members and those impacted by an issue; consider multiple levels of a problem; and reassess traditional success metrics, which often prioritize quantitative methods over more integrated and multidimensional approaches. By questioning conventional measures, we advocate for a broader, more inclusive perspective on success—a perspective integral to systems-level evaluation, one that underscores comprehensive insights.
