For over 30 years Ecotrust has worked throughout the region to affect change at the intersection of equity, ecology, and economy – the 3 E’s. Yet we have only recently adopted an equity framework that encompasses our many programs, functions, and processes, including for evaluation. In this session, evaluators Denise Chin and Noah Enelow will share the process of adopting an Equitable Evaluation approach at Ecotrust. Choosing principles, engaging with affected parties, developing a pilot, and building a toolkit to measure a diverse portfolio of work are some ways that the organization has chosen to adopt equitable practices in evaluation. If you are on a similar equity journey and looking for ways to make your evaluations center communities and affected parties, or if you are just curious about equitable evaluation–we invite you to join us.
A Zoom link will be sent to registrants two hours prior to the event.
