AEA/CES 2005 Conference Sessions With a Focus on:
Ethics, the Guiding Principles for Evaluators and the Program Evaluation Standards Compiled by the AEA Ethics Committee


The AEA Ethics Committee compiled this list in an effort to present attendees with a sampling of the wide variety of sessions on ethical issues at the 2005 conference. These sessions were selected based on an indication of ethics related content, either as a focus of a session or in the content of one or more presentations. However, we encourage all attendees to review the entire session description in the conference program before deciding to attend.  For your convenience, we have linked each title to the complete session description.

For more information on ethical standards in evaluation please visit these websites:

and
the CES page http://www.evaluationcanada.ca/site.cgi?en;1;1;00564 where the CES Guidelines for ethical conduct are posted. Also on the CES website is a link to the UK Evaluation Society, which has posted a link to their own ethical standards and links to other international resources.
