Congratulations to Melissa Chiu, who was recognized as the Washington Evaluators Volunteer of the Year. 

Melissa served as the WE Programs Chair during 2019. During her term, she worked tirelessly to bring several exciting new social and educational programs to Washington Evaluators. Deep Dive (book club style) events encouraged members to read and discuss short written works on the current issues in the field of evaluation.  Field Trips enabled members to visit and learn about local programs (e.g., non-profits, local government) while interacting with other members.  She also coordinated several social events for members, including hosting a party at her own home and organizing an amazing holiday party in partnership with The Evaluators' Institute. Melissa even shared her passion for museums with her peers, organizing several museum tours throughout the year. We thank Melissa for giving so much to Washington Evaluators this year!
