The CES membership database was analyzed in order to determine the socio-demographic profile that best defines Credentialed Evaluators (CE). In general, those currently holding CE status tend to: be employed in the private sector; have a PhD level education; have long-term experience in evaluation; have a major focus on evaluation within their professional activities; and be located within the Atlantic region, Western Canada, or the National Capital Chapter region. Â Implications of these trends for the sustainability of the CE designation program and options for broadening the scope of uptake within the CES membership are discussed.
