Professional Development from AEA Affiliates

Greater Boston Evaluation Network (GBEN) is hosting a hands-on QGIS, a free, open-sourced mapping platform, workshop on May 26th, 9-11 MST 

Participants will work directly with spatial data to understand how data structures shape what can be mapped, styled, and interpreted in evaluation work. The session emphasizes the connection between data structure and design decisions, showing how careful mapping can strengthen analysis and communication of program and policy outcomes. 

Note: While this is Part 2 in a series, as long as you have basic knowledge of GIS, you'll be able to participate!

It's $5 for AEA affiliates with the code: GiSgben

The Oregon Program Evaluators Network (OPEN) is hosting a webinar titled "Four Types of Cost-Inclusive Evaluation and Nine Types of Findings: Which is Best?" by Brian Yates, Ph.D., on May 20 from 1-2 PM MST on Zoom.

This introduction to cost-inclusive evaluation (CIE) portrays, with examples from 50 years of CIEs, a) four types of CIE, b) four positive findings of the nine possible in CIE, and c) what is the best type of CIE and the best finding from CIE. Cost, cost-effectiveness, benefit-only, and cost-benefit analyses are all called “Cost Studies” by different interest groups.
