This Ignite presentation highlighted how I built relationships with two AEA affiliates, the Eastern Evaluation Research Society and the Washington Evaluators, by volunteering over the past two years. After sharing examples of my responsibilities each affiliate, I shared the top 10 ways that connecting with affiliates will benefit your evaluation career. I concluded by sharing tips for getting involved with affiliates.#ignite #2012Conference #affiliates #evaluationcareer #Ignite #volunteering #GraduateStudentandNewEvaluators #gettinginvolved #AnnKEmery
