Introduction to Expanding the Bench for Culturally-Responsive and Equitable Evaluation

Expanding the Bench (ETB) is based on the belief that learning and evaluation have the power to shape policy, programs, and practice and that evaluators from diverse communities increase the likelihood that methods, analyses, and interpretation benefit the communities they serve.

Event Details

Does your organization value diversity, inclusion and equity? How are those values reflected in your organization’s approach to learning and evaluation?

Expanding the Bench (ETB) is based on the belief that learning and evaluation have the power to shape policy, programs, and practice and that evaluators from diverse communities increase the likelihood that methods, analyses, and interpretation benefit the communities they serve.

You are invited to join a webinar with Elizabeth Waetzig and Rachele Espiritu, Co-Directors of ETB and Founding Partners of Change Matrix on Tuesday, February 25th to learn more about the ETB initiative.

Find out how Expanding the Bench is increasing diversity, inclusion, and equity in evaluation, and how this initiative can support your organization’s pursuit of equity.
