Washington, D.C. June 8-9, 2009

Full agenda available online at http://www.nfwf.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Enviromental_Evaluators_Network&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=12390

What? - The purpose of the Environmental Evaluators Network (EEN) is to advance the field of environmental program and policy evaluation through more systematic and collective learning among evaluators and evaluation users. The 4th annual Environmental Evaluators Networking Forum in Washington, D.C. will provide participants with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences about the use and significance of evaluation in their respective organizations and disciplines.

Theme of the 2009 Forum: The Value of Environmental Evaluation

In the context of the diversity of the environmental community, participants will discuss and document the value and roles of evaluation in achieving environmental goals. The severity of environmental challenges coupled with the growing demand for evidence of what works and what doesn't creates an opportunity to communicate the fundamental importance of evaluation to key audiences. The EEN will distribute outputs of the Forum to diverse audiences (e.g., government agencies, foundations, non-profits, and academic institutions) in an effort to advance the practice, theory and policy of environmental evaluation.

Sponsors: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency & National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

Who for? - Environmental evaluators and users of environmental evaluation, both domestic and international, in government agencies, foundations, consulting firms, non-profit organizations, academia, and international institutions who are well poised to contribute to the field of environmental evaluation.

Where? - The George Washington University, Washington, D.C.

When? - Monday and Tuesday, June 8-9, 2009

The conference is free, including breakfasts and lunches.
