The CESEF Silent Auction will be held on Sunday, June 15 at 6pm at the opening reception of the 2014 CES National Conference in Ottawa.

The Canadian Evaluation Society Educational Fund (CESEF) is a charitable organization that provides scholarships, awards, and educational opportunities to individuals wishing to pursue a career in the field of Program Evaluation.

The CESEF Auction has become an annual tradition where conference participants enjoy bidding on exciting items that have been generously donated by individuals and businesses. Thanks to all those who donated to the successful event last year in Toronto.

Experience the fun and become involved by volunteering to bring an interesting item. Included in last year’s donations were a Kindle, GPS system, art objects, jewelry, and treasures brought from all the regions of Canada and around the world. Without the support of CES members, we would not have been able to reach our fundraising goals, nor would we have had the fun of bidding on so many terrific items.

If you wish to donate an item or make a cash donation for the committee to purchase articles on your behalf, please send an email to birgitta@bimlarsson.ca and you will receive a form to complete. All donors receive a charitable tax receipt.

We hope to have you participate in another successful auction so that CESEF can continue to support the development of future evaluators in Canada.

Let’s make this year’s benefit auction in Ottawa the best yet!
