| Abstract: Local affiliates continue their dynamic role in AEA. Local affiliate rosters closely reflect overall AEA membership as well as the evaluation profession. The AEA 2010 work plan addresses policy that will shape the future of the relationship between affiliates and AEA. Members of the Board policy work group on affiliates policy will be invited to this sesssion to discuss their work and its status to date. A World Café format will then be used to discuss local affiliates’ strategies and goals for their work, within the context of AEA’s broad policies. Representatives of AEA affiliates at different stages of development will be invited to comment on affiliates’ needs. |
