Environmental Program Evaluation

Topical Interest Group

 

The EPE TIG has over 300 members who specialize in  environmental arenas  including education, energy, international and global environmental issues.  We share a personal and professional passion for the environment, and for promoting a stronger community of practice in environmental evaluation. The members of the TIG are an inspiring, resourceful, and dynamic community of evaluators – many of whom are leaders in their field.

Webinar and Discussion Series  

The AEA EPE TIG is very excited to launch our summer webinar series had a fantastic start on: May 7, 2021 from 2-3:30 PM EST.  Everyone had a chance to say something to say about interests in and involvement with climate change, ecology or environment.  We had neophytes and old hands present and look forward to learning from one another.  Dawn Valentine told us about the journey mapping process that we'll be following during the webinar series to keep track of what we're finding out and reflections on where we want to go in the work of the TIG, and how what we are doing fits in with the broader concerns about climate change, ecology, and the environment -- inside and maybe outside AEA. 

The next webinar and discussion is:

Date: Friday, May 21, 2021
