Dear Colleagues,

AZENet wants to feature your work in evaluation for AZENet’s 2020 Annual Meeting, held in Tucson, AZ on April 3^rd, 2020.

Topics can be related to this year’s theme – Communication, Facilitation, & Interpersonal Effectiveness: Core Competencies – or focused on the variety of other aspects important to evaluation and learning. Abstract topics may also include overview of interesting evaluations you have conducted.
