Hello, AEA365 readers! We are volunteer AEA members of the Conference Advisory Working Group (CAWG), with experience across TIGs, task forces, working groups, and other parts of the association. We assist with the structure, operations, and evaluation of the annual conference.

Greetings from Charlotte, fellow evaluators. I’m Faye Shaer, a Senior Evaluation Associate at Epiphany Community Services, an evaluation firm helping coalitions, nonprofits, and public-sector partners tell stories of impact.

I’m Tiffany Tovey, lead evaluator in the Office of Assessment, Evaluation, and Research Services at UNC Greensboro. Much of my work involves partnering with educators, researchers, organizers, and community members in North Carolina and beyond to understand and strengthen their work.

Hi, I’m Stacy Huff, Ph.D., Project Director for North Carolina Healthy Transitions and an evaluator based in Greensboro, NC, who enjoys participatory methods that create opportunities for people to share their own experiences. One lesson I’ve learned through Photovoice projects is that while collecting powerful stories is the goal, how we share those stories matters just as much.

Our team partners with organizations across North Carolina to evaluate the impact of community programs through a collaborative, equity?driven approach guided by the MSB Consulting Data Collection & Evaluation Framework.
