Join us from an introduction to an evaluation model that is non-punitive\, prioritizes story telling\, and is simple for pros and laypeople alike to use.

Then we will jump into how we apply RBA in real life at Baltimore’s Promise and Family League of Baltimore\, using the principles to meet the needs of large portfolios of grantees in perinatal health\, youth development and family support. You will leave the session with concepts you can use right away in your work\, including aligning your performance measurement to RBA’s three key questions: \n1. How Much we do/ How Many we serve\n2. How Well we do it\, and\n3. Is anyone Better Off as a result. \n\nAbout the presenters \nJessie Tartanian is the Director of Data and Evaluation at Family League of Baltimore.

SUMMARY:The Evolving Role of AI in Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:Join us at BAE’s Winter Webinar and hear from evaluators and data professionals who are integrating AI into their everyday work. Panelists will discuss how they use AI to enhance efficiency\, support data analysis\, and streamline communications while thinking carefully about ethical considerations.

Our conversation about navigating this new space will have plenty of time for questions and discussion! \n➡️ Click here to register to attend on Zoom! ⬅️\n\nPanelists include: \nDr. Valerie Ehrlich brings 20 years of learning and evaluation experience across nonprofits\, higher education/academia\, and consulting. Her work explores human-centered approaches to technology adoption in mission-driven organizations.

Kantahyanee’s interest in leveraging AI as a tool for equitable and liberatory evaluation\, emphasizing ethical practice and expanding opportunities for marginalized communities to shape the future of AI as creators and innovators\, has led to some internal (i.e.\, staff experimentation) and external strategies (i.e.\, community capacity strengthening) ensuring AI contributes to more just and equitable outcomes. \n(AI was used in the development of this brief biography) \nBrandon Sepulvado\, Ph.D.\, is a Senior Research Methodologist at NORC at the University of Chicago. He partners with public sector organizations at the state\, national\, and international levels to strengthen data infrastructure and responsibly apply artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance evidence-building capacity.
