Please feel to post your own pages on this collaborative web site. We just created it, based on the vote of the CP&E TIG membership during the annual business meeting.  Ideally it will help us all communicate and share ideas (both about next year's conference and projects for years to come). Take care. -David Fetterman, Scriven, and Patton Debate: Empowerment Evaluation.

PSS You will see an attachment at the bottom called CPEFLIER.pdf. It is a flier advertising our TIG that you can download and email to colleagues who might be interested in participating in our groups activities. PSSS I have also created a Discussion Board page (focusing on Next Annual Meeting) to help us share ideas on proposal concepts for next year (as requested). |
