The Independent Consulting Community of Interest (ICCI) was established in 2022 under the auspices of the Canadian Evaluation Society. It is a group of individuals interested in providing mutual support and fostering community.

Goals include:

  1. Share knowledge and best practices with peers
  2. Network and build professional relationships
  3. Stay up to date with the latest trends and developments in evaluation consulting
  4. Seek mentorship and guidance from experienced consultants
  5. Collaborate on evaluation projects
  6. Access resources and tools for professional growth
  7. Contribute to the field through mutual sharing of expertise.

The IC-CI is going strong and already has over 100 members. Several online training events have already occurred, and more are in the works.
