Nominees Sought for AEA Representative to IOCE
Apply by: Friday, June 7, 2019

The International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE) is an alliance of regional, national, and international evaluation organizations (associations, societies, and networks) from around the world that collaborate to: 

• Build evaluation leadership and capacity, especially in developing countries;
• Foster the cross-fertilization of evaluation theory and practice around the world;
• Address international challenges in evaluation; and
• Assist the evaluation profession to take a more global approach to contributing to the identification and solution of world problems.

AEA's representative to the IOCE works with IOCE colleagues while representing a stance in alignment with AEA's mission, vision, and values. He or she acts independently, yet brings questions or concerns back to the AEA Board. The IOCE representative submits a written report to the Board on her or his activities and relevant international evaluation issues each fall. AEA’s representative to the IOCE is also a member of the Management Group of the EvalPartners coalition. The representative will serve a three-year term beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022. In the past, the rising representative has shadowed the incumbent for up to six months prior to taking their position.

The person serving in this position is likely a senior member of the evaluation profession, dedicated to the field, and has the breadth and depth of knowledge and practice required to speak authoritatively about evaluation issues in the international context. Individuals seeking to serve need to have a demonstrated range of relevant experience in evaluation and a commitment to representing the diversity of people and the international perspectives represented in the field and in AEA's membership.
