TIG NEWS !
Stewart Donaldson, one of this TIG’s and AEA’s most ardent supporters and contributors is running for the AEA board!
Donaldson co-led the Program Theory and Theory-driven Evaluation TIG for 8 years, is a member of the American Journal of Evaluation and New Directions for Evaluation Editorial Boards, and a longtime instructor of theory-driven evaluation professional development workshops at AEA conferences.As AEA continues to grow and expand, it needs strong leadership and direction.
Donaldson has been a leader in the field for almost 15 years, having published numerous articles and books, and having provided some of the main foundations of how theory-driven and theory-based evaluation is conceptualized and practiced. In having built one of the most well-known international evaluation programs, Donaldson has demonstrated that he understands governance, innovative yet strategic thinking, and the importance of bringing people together from all parts of the globe.
