conference
The AEA Evaluation Conference
Kansas City Convention Center
Evaluators come to this event to learn best practices, discover new techniques, and implement lessons learned from others in the field.
Theme: Engaging Community, Sharing Leadership
Shared leadership approaches create an environment where communities can grow, learn, and innovate to improve outcomes. This approach can be challenging to introduce to stable environments versus volatile or complex environments, but if done successfully, evaluators can empower communities with the tools to thrive as they walk into the future.
Leaders who engage in shared leadership approaches will listen, share, and discuss shared formal and informal ethical agreements and explore how these agreements interact with the complexities of society and factor into how progress is achieved. Through this guidance, evaluators can distribute knowledge, data, and stories that can make a lasting impact on a community.
