¡Milwaukee Evaluation! Inc. was started by a group of nonprofit-based evaluators located in southeastern Wisconsin. Inspired by the American Evaluation Association’s 2011 annual meeting theme on values and valuing, this statewide affiliate has three goals:
Promote social justice in and through the practice of evaluation so that social justice flourishes in all sectors of society.
Provide a forum for professional evaluators to network, exchange ideas and knowledge, and participate in emancipatory professional development activities that promote excellence in the field of evaluation.
Establish and maintain a pipeline for evaluators of color and underrepresented groups (e.g., low-income, LGBT, non-college enrolled youth, rural, lay, youth, and Spanish-speaking) to increase the number of underrepresented evaluators practicing throughout the state of Wisconsin.
