Evaluator Perspective

Abstract

As someone with over 40 years employment experience, I stepped into evaluation through a research higher degree pathway and found a home in evaluation when I attended my first Australian Evaluation Association international conference in Perth in 2008 as a student. Due to my prior qualifications, I undertook my postgraduate study within a School of Education. This was challenging for someone studying evaluation, and the Australian Evaluation Society offered the evaluation disciplinary support I was looking for. Since this time, I have been the President, Editor of the Evaluation Journal of Australasia, journal author, journal reviewer, conference presenter and attendee. From my perspective, I had found my evaluation home.
