The c2019 Conference is in 15 days! Thank you for registering to attend. There are plenty of excellent professional development opportunities available through program  sessions. But first, at our Opening Reception, we will kick off the conference in a relaxed atmosphere as you participate in CESEF’s Silent Auction and mingle with fellow delegates. The funds raised through this are used to provide scholarships, awards, and educational opportunities to students and emerging evaluators to further their knowledge within the field of program evaluation.   CES Educational Fund’s (CESEF) student competition awards will also be given at the reception on Monday night. CESEF is an independent, not-for-profit organization that works to foster the evaluation profession across Canada.  NB: CESEF is still seeking items for the silent auction!  To help CESEF plan for this event, please contact Mariane Arsenault [email protected]  to confirm your donations and how they can be delivered.  

The Awards Luncheon later in the week will include inductions of new fellow(s) and remarks by the presidents’ of the Canadian Evaluation Society and American Evaluation Association. We look forward to welcoming you to Halifax in May. Nova Scotia is within Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.
