<p>Dear friends, I work for WOCAN and we have developed a women's empowerment standard called the W+ Standard and we are planning to organize South East Asia region-specific information session. I am new to this group and was wondering how can I send information to the members of the specific region?</p>

<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I think Rittu may have sent a message about the Culturally Responsive Evaluation & Assessment conference in Chicago Mar 27-29. Is anyone from our group attending this year? I will be there and would be interested in connecting with anyone else who will be too! </p>

</div>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #050711; font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">This sub-theme invites conversations about the connections built, sustained, or strengthened through evaluation and is an opportunity to share experiences about building and traveling bridges to overcome obstacles to evaluation. Evaluators also build bridges to strengthen stakeholder relationships and to help programs reach their goals efficiently and effectively.</span></p>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #050711; font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><h2 style="font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;"><em style="font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">Subtheme 2: Sustaining and using bridges</em></h2>

This sub-theme inspires conversations about how to build sustainable connections that can weather storms and be adapted as needed to remain useful. We invite delegates to discuss established bridges in need of up-keep or new supports, as well as those that are no longer useful or relevant.</span></div>

This subtheme conjures notions of complex system evaluation and is an opportunity for delegates to share their experiences from the ship’s bridge as evaluative leaders guiding the way through complex systems in stormy weather and fair skies.</span></p>
