In evaluation, we often ask, “Are we doing things right?”
But we should also ask: “Are we cultivating meaning, culture & connection?”

Being a solutionary doesn’t require perfection—just curiosity.
Ask simple questions:
👉 Are we doing the right things?
👉 Are we doing things right?
That’s how communities keep learning, growing, and caring forward.

Investing in ourselves isn’t a retreat from community work—it’s a return to it with more power.

I’d add: Evaluators help communities improve the systems that shape them. Let’s use every tool we have
