GULF COAST
EVAL NETWORK

MISSION

GCEval is the American Evaluation Association's affiliate for Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. We are a network of evaluation practitioners based in and/or working the Gulf Coast who come together to support peer learning and professional development; to facilitate cross referrals and joint ventures; and to champion evaluation as a fundamental component of quality programming.

WHAT WE DO

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

GCEval provides workshops, co-working opportunities, and trainings useful for both members who have years of experience in evaluation, as well as those who are new to the field. These events are conducted by practitioners, educators, and thought-leaders from a variety of disciplines.

NETWORKING

Our events allow evaluators, consultants and other practitioners from a range of sectors to connect with each other, share knowledge and explore ways to collaborate. We also work to connect evaluators with organizations who are looking for evaluation services.

RAISING COMMUNITY

AWARENESS

Our goal is to increase awareness and understanding about the field of evaluation throughout the Gulf Coast. We help organizations adopt evaluation practices and run workshops for the general public that explore what evaluation looks like in practice and how people can start doing it.

"Our goal is to help members broaden their networks and skills, while expanding the use of evaluation throughout our region. I'm very appreciative for the group, I've learned a lot from the other members."
