Washington Evaluators Affiliate Week: Evidence-Based Medicine to Evidence-Based Policymaking by Esther Nolton
My name is Esther Nolton, and I am the Immediate Past President for Washington Evaluators. Like many of us in the field, I identify as an “accidental evaluator”—a person who stumbled upon evaluation and stuck around. As I reflect on my journey to and through evaluation, I am amazed by how intentional and logical my path has actually been. I hope my story provides an example of the fascinating ways in which people become evaluators.
