With a community of over 1,400 members across the country and abroad, we provide a home for people working in the field of evaluation to connect and grow, so they can have a greater impact on everyone they serve.
Elevate your evaluation skills with the CES e-Institute, offering self-paced and facilitated courses designed by evaluators for evaluators.
The CE designation is the only professional title identifying professional evaluators.
The designation means that the holder has provided evidence of the education and experience required to be a competent evaluator. It is a service provided by CES to its members, who may elect to become credentialed on a voluntary basis. It recognizes competence and promotes continuous learning within our community.

There is growing recognition of the complex moral and ethical tensions associated with evaluation practice. However, there are scant evidence-informed frameworks for cultivating ethical awareness or informing ethical deliberation across the evaluation landscape. Thus, we aimed to synthesize research evidence on evaluation ethics, and draw on these findings to develop an evidence-informed evaluation ethics framework.

How about really shaking up the foundations of Evaluation practice? In this initiative, we believe that changing practices begins with changing concepts and understanding contexts, bringing new (and not at all new) ontologies, to change epistemologies and transform methodologies.

Opportunities for Connection and Advancement
I joined CES in 2004 as a graduate student in the Ontario Chapter for professional development and networking opportunities. I then joined the Alberta and Northwest Territories Chapter when I moved to Edmonton to begin a faculty position in 2008.
I have enjoyed making local, cross-Canadian and international connections with colleagues. I also attend conferences and workshops to continue my own learning so that I can bring my learning back to my graduate classroom and supervisory responsibilities. I have served as the National CES Board Representative for the Alberta and Northwest Territories Chapter, and enjoyed working as a National CES Board Member.
CES is a great advocate for the evaluation profession and I am proud to be a Credentialed Evaluator (CE) since 2013. CES has also been an important avenue for my graduate students to make connections and find employment opportunities. Over the years, I have served as a coach for the Student Case Competition, and I continue to serve as an editorial board member for the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation.
