Welcome to the Canadian Evaluation Society
Newfoundland & Labrador Chapter
The Canadian Evaluation Society - Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter (CES-NL) is a provincial chapter of the Canadian Evaluation Society - a Canada-wide professional association of evaluators.
We chose the iceberg as our masthead for our website as it is an Icon of Newfoundland and Labrador and it represents so well the adventure and discovery that make up the evaluation experience:
"It is easier to perceive
error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily
seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search
for it."
Goethe
Here in Newfoundland and Labrador, CES-NL brings together professionals from the government, community-based, private and academic sectors - all with an interest in results-focused management and accountability for investments in a wide range of programs and services.
Our members are engaged in program evaluation, product evaluation, technology evaluation, personnel evaluation, and many other forms of evaluation. They assess the strengths and weaknesses of programs, policies, personnel, products, and organizations to improve their effectiveness.
Have a look through our website and learn how you and your organization can benefit from the many events and activities offered by CES-NL, including:
- Professional Development Workshops
- Presentation and Discussion Sessions
- Networking Events
- Student Activities
...and more!
If you have any questions, require additional information or would like to become involved, please do not hesitate to contact us!
