A Conversation with CJPE Editor Jill Chouinard
Are You Interested in Learning More About the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation?
Have you thought about sharing your evaluation experiences or co-writing with colleagues about a novel evaluation approach you used? Or reflecting on the evaluation challenges you had in a culturally complex context? Maybe reviewing an evaluation book that influenced your thinking about evaluation?
Join the webinar on May 10 at noon and learn about the many ways that you can join the conversation about evaluation by contributing an article, a book review, or a practice note. We also have a new section, Roots and Relations, for Indigenous people to share their evaluation stories.

She has also published numerous articles and books on evaluation, most recently Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation: Empirical Implications for Theory and Practice (co-written with Fiona Cram).

The Legacy of John Mayne for Canadian and World Evaluation and Results Management
About this event:
This lunch and learn session is devoted to the intellectual legacy of John Mayne who left us two years ago after receiving a CES lifetime achievement award. John cut a remarkable figure. He was a bridge builder between evaluation, monitoring, measurement, performance auditing and results-based management. Canadian evaluation and results management history largely reflects John’s history – especially at the national level. If you are interested in contribution analysis, results-based management, and/or the connections between evaluation, measurement, performance auditing and the Canadian evolution of managing for results – this session will be for you.
The special session will refer directly to the recently published special edition of the Canadian Journal of Program evaluation devoted to John’s legacy in the aforementioned areas. All articles are open access and can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/dSH3ViUd. Several prominent evaluators who have contributed to the issue will be in attendance at the session to be hosted by the three editors Steffen Bohni Nielsen Sebastian Lemire and Steve Montague. Contributors we expect to hear from include Maria Barrados, Isabelle Bourgeois, Jane Whynot, Robert Lahey, and Kaireen Chaytor. Given John’s presence in the community, we may hear from some others in our community as well.
Whether you are an evaluator, a performance planner, measurement specialist corporate reporter, academic, student, practitioner or a user of results, evaluation and performance information – there will be some important lessons and insights for you.
This session is co-hosted by the CES-NCC and PPX.
