Attachments include session materials from the 2011 AEA session on evaluating civic engagement, facilitated by Jane Reisman and Anne Gienapp of ORS. A number of tools and approaches have been emerging as evaluators are embracing more flexible and responsive methodologies in the larger field of advocacy evaluation and the application of these tools and others in civic engagement work is of great interest. Attached, please find a summary of the AEA session, and session materials, including "Overview of Civic Engagement Operating Frameworks" and "The Challenge of Assessing Civic Engagement Efforts: Toward a Useful Framework and Measurement Approaches."
