The Journey Continues: Making the Evaluation Profession More Diverse and Inclusive
In 1997, several influential evaluators who represented the American Evaluation Association (AEA) and W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s leadership got together to discuss how to diversify the evaluation profession and create a pipeline for evaluators from underrepresented populations. An initiative was conceived, funded by the Kellogg Foundation, advised by an AEA committee, and implemented by Community Science (at that time, it was called the Association for the Study and Development of Community).
