This month we will be discussing a resource from Listening4Good called "When Listening Leads to Change: A practical guide for organizations on how to build high-quality feedback loops that center equity." We hope you can join us!

About the Discussion Group:

The Discussion Group focuses on two broad questions:

(1) How do I start using equitable evaluation practices?

(2) What do successful equitable evaluation practices look like?

The Discussion Group was inspired by the small-group informal conversations that originally led to the creation of GBEN. We hope that these new conversations will provide GBEN members another setting to problem-solving on issues related to equitable evaluation while also getting to know each other better. Each session will discuss a short article or blog post related to equitable evaluation and problems of practice shared by meeting participants. The discussion groups will be conducted on Zoom. These discussions are hosted every 4 to 6 weeks.
