CESBC DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

CESBC continues to work toward advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the evaluation field. We recently developed a DEI statement showing our commitment to this work. Please read it here: https://evaluationbc.ca/DEI-Commitment

We also invite you to apply for the newly created Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund, which provides financial support to individuals from underrepresented groups to pursue evaluation-related professional development opportunities. Click here for more information: https://evaluationbc.ca/DEI-Fund. We have also added more information to the CESBC DEI community resource document, please review.

Are you interested in joining the DEI conversation at CESBC? We would like to hear your perspective. Do you have a favourite DEI initiative, speakers, or resources? Are there types of DEI initiatives missing from our list? What do you think are the most effective ways to advance DEI in evaluation? Get in touch with us today via cesbcdei@evaluationcanada.ca.
