For over 40 years, the Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) has helped evaluation professionals build and advance their careers, providing a wide range of professional development opportunities and expert resources. Through our national operations and network of Chapters, members and partners, we build awareness of evaluation, promote the development of evaluation theory and practice, advocate for the use of quality evaluation, and lead the professionalization of our profession.
At the heart of this success has been leadership and innovation. The field of evaluation is growing and evolving, influenced by trends toward increased professionalization, information sharing and innovation, as well as heightened demand for competencies and accountability. With a future-forward focus, we will continue to work on initiatives that elevate our collective professionalism, engage current and potential members, and advocate for use of quality evaluation among current and potential evaluation users.
