I was working my first job after my graduate degree, and found out that my research project was actually an evaluation project. I enrolled in the Essential Skills Series and became a member of CES so I could learn more about this field I had never heard about.
I joined CES to connect with a community of professionals who share my commitment to advancing evaluation. With over 10 years’ experience across non-profit, academic, international, and government sectors, I value CES as a platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen practice, and contribute to the field’s growth.
I joined the CES to broaden my knowledge of evaluation, interact with professionals in the field, access training opportunities, strengthen my network, and further my job search in a stimulating environment focussed on sharing experiences and professional development.
I have been working as a Program Management and Evaluation Specialist for many years, and I felt that there was lack of connection with other evaluation and project management specialists outside of my country, so I joined CES. I would also like to contribute in community of practices, as legacy for future specialists.
I joined CES in 2005 to keep abreast of trends in evaluation.
I initially joined CES in 2002 as a young researcher to attend the Annual National Conference.
After being introduced to program evaluation during my Masters of Sociology Studies at the University of Manitoba, I decided to pursue a career in evaluation, which led me to CES in 2017.
I was initially interested in the Credentialed Evaluator (CE) designation. However, I decided to join in 2017 after reading about all the benefits of membership on the CES website.
I joined CES in 2000 for the networking and professional development opportunities, and to be a part of my professional association.
