There are two offerings for this event on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 7 am ET / 11 am GMT and 12 pm 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 Space, evaluation consultants, firms, and commissioners will discuss how contract clauses can meet legal requirements while fostering true partnerships.

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.
