Message of condolences

 

We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Jamie Watts, a newer and valued member of the IAES Evaluation Reference Group. Through her thoughtful engagement with learning from outgoing and former ERGs members and professional insights Jamie greatly contributed to reflective thinking to help strengthen the quality, rigor, and credibility of evaluative work in IAES. She brought insight, generosity, and a deep commitment to learning, and her professionalism and humanity were greatly appreciated by all who worked with her. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues. Jamie will be remembered with respect and gratitude.
