Judith Evans Joins World Forum Team

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia

Last week at a World Forum meeting at the NAEYC Convention in Washington, DC, Dr. Judith Evans was introduced as the newest member of the World Forum team. She will be joining Joan Lombardi as a co-facilitator of the Global Leaders for Young Children initiative. Evans and Lombardi will team up first in guiding the Global Leaders' meeting that is taking place in conjunction with the International Winter Institute in Reggio Emilia, Italy in February 2006.

Dr. Judith L. Evans has devoted her career to the field of international early childhood care and development. She is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria, in Canada. Previous employment has included: Director of the Department of Programme Documentation and Communication at the Bernard van Leer Foundation, the Director of the Consultative Group on Early Childhood Care and Development, Programme Officer with the Aga Khan Foundation, and Vice-President of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation. She has worked as a consultant with UN agencies, the World Bank, and many of the International NGOs, working on programme development and evaluation projects, and she has worked with governments on the development of policy. She has written numerous articles that bring together research and practice on various early childhood issues, and most recently she produced an early childhood programming manual, Early Childhood Counts, that provides a framework for the development of early childhood programmes in the Majority World.
