Please join us on Friday, April 17th at 3:00pm ET / 12:00pm PT for a joint networking TIG meeting with members from the Human Services Eval and Social Work TIGs! With the AEA Eval26 Conference Call for Proposals being open and due by Friday, May 1st, we want to offer a time for our TIG members to workshop proposal ideas and/or connect with colleagues who may be interested in collaborating on a proposal. Register in advance for this meeting: https://luc.zoom.us/meeting/register/Q4FqGAP3Rde3O4PyiVSuCA
Whether you're a seasoned presenter at AEA or this may be your first time submitting a proposal for the conference, this session is for you! We're confident that folks from across both TIGs are doing great work that is worthy of submission to the conference, so please join the call, even if only for a bit. If you can't make the call on 4/17, but still want support with a proposal, please reach out to ryakobashvili@friendshipplace.org and she'll get you connected with folks ASAP!

Mission: The mission of the Human Services Evaluation (HSE) TIG of the American Evaluation Association is to improve the practice of evaluation within the human services field. TIG members seek to improve human services theory, practice, and capacity building through the development and application of state-of-the-art evaluation techniques.
Scope: The TIG focuses on the evaluation of the full range of human services programs and settings for individuals
families, and communities. Such programs and settings include, but are not limited to, those involving child welfare,
counseling, employment development, family development, physical and mental health, parent and family education,
and school-based services.
Activities: Typical activities of the HSE TIG include bi-weekly substantive meetings, collaboration with other TIGs on issues relevant to human services evaluation, AEA365 Blog Takeovers, and representation at the annual AEA Evaluation conferences. This TIG emphasizes opportunities for networking and relationship building. All of these activities are designed to assist our members in strengthening their own evaluation practice(s), collaborating with colleagues, and advancing the field.
