Our Values
-
Listening – The activities of ChEW are informed by the needs and wants of its membership. We commit to continuous improvement – building on what works and changing what doesn’t. Bringing member voices into decision-making.
-
Integrity – the actions of ChEW – what it says and what it does – are grounded in information and evidence that is accessible to all. We are open and transparent about how we make decisions. We will say what we mean and hold ourselves accountable to our actions.
-
Inclusive – ChEW welcomes, respects and supports the diversity of its membership and we champion the importance of equitable evaluation. We actively seek a diverse membership, commit to running accessible and inclusive events and champion the importance of equitable evaluation. We will pay attention to who is ‘round the table’ and actively bring in / reach out to unheard voices
-
Inspire – ChEW will act to improve and challenge evaluation acceptance and practice, such that evaluation is seen as a critical part of developing the continuous learning required to improve policy and services for society. We recognise our role as a change agent and will be bold in challenging the status quo. We give people time to share and learn together.
​We’re looking for the new board members to build on what we’ve achieved so far and to shape our future plans to influence the future of evaluation. To learn more about where we currently are as an organisation, take a look a Jami and Dave's blog, where they reflect on their journey as co-chairs of ChEW and the opportunities that lie ahead.
We’re specifically looking to recruit people who are not only passionate about the use of data and evidence, but bring a wider range of skills to the board, including;
-
research and evaluation
-
income generation
-
comms and marketing
-
advocacy and influence
Our trustees are based across the UK, so all of our meetings are online. We’re a small charity, which means that we’re looking for people who are happy to be somewhat hands-on.
​
We would like to maintain the diversity of our board and therefore would particularly like to hear from people from the global majority, lower socioeconomic backgrounds, disabled people and those from other marginalised groups. We’re open to new perspectives and ways of thinking, so you don’t necessarily need to have worked in the third sector, understand evaluation, or have experience of being a trustee before.
