We are a community of practice for evaluators in West Michigan. We share a passion for effective and efficient social change and we seek to learn our craft better through regular interaction with each other. This platform is where we come together to share problems, solutions and stories.

The concept of a community of practice (CoP) assumes that there are change agents who are engaging in effective and/or efficient practices. Here we facilitate the gaining of practical knowledge from these change agents.

Ultimately, the purpose of a CoP is to increase the learning of its members. Learning occurs through the observation and imitation of others. It is a cognitive process that flows from information to imitation to innovation, all of which takes place in a social context.

If you are an evaluator seeking such a community, or if you are looking for an evaluator who has learned from such a community, you’ve come to the right place.
