There were two offerings for this event on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 7 am ET / 12pm GMT and 11 am ET / 4 pm GMT.

Often, we all partner with other evaluators or firms on our projects and initiatives. In that process, we have all learned a lot about what it takes to make these partnerships successful. How we contract with one another is a contributor. The space we create for each other and how we treat each other are others. Successful partnerships -- which require more than a paycheck and a successfully completed project -- involve mutual respect, shared ownership, joint learning, and opportunities for all to shine. 

During this gathering, shared what it takes to develop true evaluation partnerships, and we created space for participants to get to know each other and learn from each other's experiences.

This is a continuation of our monthly event to which we invite evaluators and evaluation firms of all sizes and from all parts of the world -- focused locally, nationally (e.g., within the United States or within another country), and/or globally -- to come together to build relationships and learn from each other with the goal of helping each of us strengthen our evaluation partnerships.
