 About MNEA  

VISION

The Minnesota Evaluation Association (MNEA) envisions a collaborative community where evaluators help build a more just and equitable society to ensure the liberation of all.

MISSION

MNEA provides a multidisciplinary platform for evaluators to strengthen knowledge, skills, and connections in service of advancing equity through evaluation in Minnesota and beyond.








EQUITY

MNEA acknowledges that systems of oppression have historically excluded, and continue to exclude, non-dominant, non-linear identities and knowledge systems - including LGBTQ2S+, persons with visible and invisible disabilities, immigrants and refugees, Indigenous, Black/African American, and other communities of color.

Dismantling the resulting inequities requires a commitment to working internally and externally to unlearn oppressive systems including white supremacy, imperialism, misogyny, colonialism, and much more.

We aim to highlight alternative ways of knowing and being, and to move the field and practice of evaluation away from its oppressive roots and toward liberation.

OUR VALUES


Equity & Justice


While diversity and inclusion are necessary, they are not sufficient to create equitable and just outcomes for all. MNEA believes evaluators are positioned to be advocates for change.

Critical Reflection


MNEA honors the whole person, and the people involved in our community, by centering wellness and joy while uplifting opportunities for professional growth.

Person-centered


MNEA honors the whole person, and the people involved in our community, by centering wellness and joy while uplifting opportunities for professional growth.

Accountability


Acknowledging historic harms is an important step in ensuring a just and equitable society. MNEA aims to take steps to address these harms at the individual, community, and societal levels.

Community Relationships


MNEA prioritizes promoting and creating opportunities to build relationships and meaningful connections among evaluators and the broader community, particularly historically excluded and systematically marginalized groups.

Accessible Knowledge


MNEA desires to foster opportunities for the exchange of evaluation knowledge, skills and perspectives in order to create accessibility in the field of evaluation for a broader community of practitioners and scholars, particularly those systematically excluded from the field.
