Hi! I’m Jayne Corso, Community Manager for AEA with some early perspectives from Day 1 of Evaluation 2014.
The twittersphere lit up this afternoon as Beverly Parsons, our current AEA president gave her plenary talk, Visionary Evaluation for Sustainable, Equitable Future. Evaluators were especially impressed with young Xiuhtezcatl Roske-Martinez of Earth Guardians.
Thanks @X4Earth @earthguardianz for an inspiring start to the AEA annual conf. #eval14 @AEAamp pic.twitter.com/29hmLvxWCK
