The Pivot: An Evaluation Game (Friday, June 12, 2026)

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Evaluation can feel like a solo sport, but it doesn't have to be. We’re inviting you to an afternoon of "simulated chaos" and some informal networking.

It’s time to play The Pivot: An Evaluation Game! We’re gathering at the High Point library in West Seattle for a game that centers the "human element" of our work. You’ll work in small teams to navigate a complex mission, making the hard calls between budget constraints, data quality, and community equity. It’s an evening designed to celebrate the plasticity, resilience, and adaptability that make a great evaluator.

The Culture of Play:

Interactive Teamplay: No PowerPoints here. You’ll be at the Ledger, making decisions in real-time.
Equity as Strategy: See how centering culture makes for stronger research.
Community Debrief: We’ll wrap up by sharing the lessons we’ve all learned from the field.

Drinks and snacks provided! Come meet your next collaborator. Please register by the deadline.

Address: 3411 S.W. Raymond St., Seattle, WA 98126
