AMERICAN EVALUATION
ASSOCIATION
Public Issues Forum
Now available!
Audio and text transcript of
November 2007: Evaluation in Federal Agencies
In
the fall of 2006 the American Evaluation Association launched the
Public Issues Forum as part of its annual conference in order to
address timely and important issues in the field.
The Forum is an AEA panel designed to encourage constructive
dialogue and engender awareness among leaders, policy-makers, and
the general public on topics having implications for the role,
image, and implementation of evaluation in public contexts. Forums
will encompass a diversity of views on the selected issue, striving
to present nuanced and thoughtful perspectives that will bring about
deeper understanding. The topic that a Forum addresses will be
selected for its relevance and significance to the field of
evaluation, for its immediacy, and for its location at the interface
of evaluation and the public interest.
AEA will be supporting Public Issues Forums for a three-year trial
period beginning in 2006. The AEA Public Affairs Committee is
responsible for identifying an issue for the Forum, inviting
participants, managing and moderating the forum, and disseminating
its proceedings. Forums are tape recorded, transcribed and edited
into a document posted to this website along with relevant resources
and links.
Current archived Public Issues Forums are as follows:
November 2007:

Association be Part of the "What"?
November 2006:
