The Elevate Journal
Our 2024 So Far!
The temperatures are threatening three digits, the operatic oratorio of the cicadas has waned, Nashville SC is on an unbeaten streak, and suddenly we find ourselves at the halfway point of 2024. We asked our staff to reflect on the first half of this calendar year; our team shared the following experiences, photos, and words that represent our year thus far.
Reflections from AEA and Staff Retreat
At the beginning of November, our team attended the conference for American Evaluator’s Association (AEA) in New Orleans, and combined that trip with our annual staff retreat. AEA’s annual conference is a touchstone in the ever-evolving field of evaluation and allows professionals from a variety of sector and roles to exchange ideas and engage in dialog about the practice and role of evaluation in social change.
