Evaluation Policy in the U.S. – The Story of AEA’s Evaluation Policy Task Force - Past, Present, and Future

Friday, October 13, 2023
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM ET
Location: Room 101
The Evaluation Policy Task Force (EPTF) is the driving force behind AEA’s influence on evaluation-related policy at the federal level and is composed of members with a wealth of diverse evaluation policy experiences, representing government, academic, and private sector evaluators. Created in 2007, the EPTF is the longest standing task force of AEA. During this session we will share the story of the EPTF – past, present, and future. The session will start with an overview of the EPTF, an annual update, and ideas for how to engage in the year ahead. We will then turn our attention to hosting an interactive conversation between new and long-standing members of the EPTF to learn more about the rich history of this task force and its many accomplishments, such as championing federal efforts to support the implementation of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. We will encourage audience participation throughout – so bring your questions and suggestions for how AEA can continue to make an important difference in the evaluation policy landscape!
