The Potent Presentations Initiative is sponsored by the American Evaluation Association for the explicit purpose of helping evaluators improve their presentation skills, both at the annual conference and in individual evaluation practice. Potent Presenters think about three things: Message, Design, and Delivery.

Stephanie Evergreen
Stephanie Evergreen, PhD, leads the Potent Presentations Initiative. With the advice of an amazing oversight panel and informed by the research from related fields, Stephanie pulls from her wide knowledge about both evaluation and good presentations to develop and deliver the p2i curriculum.
In addition to the Potent Presentation efforts, Stephanie is the Director of eLearning Initiatives at the American Evaluation Association, where she produces the Coffee Break Demonstration and Professional Development eStudy webinar series. Stephanie holds a doctorate in Interdisciplinary Evaluation from Western Michigan University, where her dissertation examined the extent of graphic design use in evaluation reporting. Within the American Evaluation Association, Stephanie founded the Data Visualization and Reporting Topical Interest Group.
Outside of the American Evaluation Association, Stephanie consults with evaluators and researchers about data presentation, both in-person and online. She is co-editor and co-author of a forthcoming issue of New Directions in Evaluation on data visualization. She regularly blogs on data presentation at stephanieevergreen.com/blog/. Her book, Presenting Data Effectively, will be published by Sage in Fall 2013.
