Dear Community,
Join us online for an informal time to connect and chat about a new topic every month at the “Seattle Evaluation Café.”
This meeting will be on Zoom on Friday, February 20 from 12-1pm.
This month: "We're ranting and raving about ______ !" We want to know, what's been something really exciting or that has sparked joy for you lately? And we definitely want to know, what has you ranting? What feels like it's keeping you stuck or really frustrating your work?
Some questions we might explore:
In one word, how is your work feeling right now? What’s taking up most of your professional energy this month? What’s something in your work that’s working really well right now? Have you tried a method, tool, or approach recently that you’d recommend? What’s a small win you’re proud of that others might overlook? What’s something in our field or more broadly that’s frustrating you right now? What’s a pattern you keep seeing that you wish would change? What part of your workflow feels unnecessarily hard? Is this a local issue or a broader trend? Who has figured out a workaround?

This session explores Outcome Harvesting+Attitude Change, an adaptation of a globally used methodology that offers a unique approach to evaluating programs focusing on equity and cohesion within our own US context. Whereas Outcome Harvesting uses retrospective logic for identifying emerging behavior change outcomes in complex systems, OH+AC adds in attitude change data to support programs in which mindsets are central to the theory of change. For example, attitude is key in advancing equity with marginalized groups and building relationships across diverse communities - both central to peace and democracy building. During this session, Michelle Garred and Min Ma will walk us through key components of OH+AC and share how they have applied the method in the US and abroad. Get familiar with OH+AC by reviewing this how-to Guide by the session presenters.
Presenters:
Min Ma, Founder and Principal, Data+Soul
Michelle Garred, Founder and Principal, Ripple Peace Research & Consulting
Join us for an afternoon snacks and small-group table conversations focused on career journeys and paths in evaluation.
Whether you’re new to the field, well established, or reflecting on what’s next, this is a chance to share how you found your way into evaluation, lessons learned along the way, and where you hope your work will take you.
There is limited parking available in the lot, parking available in the neighborhood, and public transportation options.
