EnCompass’ own Beeta Tahmassebi has been chosen as Washington Evaluators’ 2020 President-Elect. Ms. Tahmassebi has served on the Washington Evaluators board for the past year as treasurer. And, as Director of Operations for The Evaluators’ Institute, she has worked with Washington Evaluators to expand access to events and opportunities for evaluation professionals over the past several years. In these roles, she has become familiar with the organization’s programs, values, and commitments.
