EVALCORP Receives National Certification

2015 is off to a great start at EVALCORP! We’re pleased to announce that we have been certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE). This certification affirms that we are a business “whose management and daily operation is controlled by a woman with industry expertise.” 

We’ve been a woman-owned company since Dr. Kristen Donovan, our president and principal consultant, founded EVALCORP over 12 years ago. This certification provides us with new and exciting opportunities! In addition to having our work recognized nationally, we’re now part of a community of hundreds of other WBEs. This network will help us connect to other top-tier minority-run businesses. We’re looking forward to continued growth as a result of this partnership.


If you’re an existing or future client, this certification can benefit you, too. If your organization is required to work with a certain percentage of minority-owned businesses, you can start to fulfill that requirement by working with EVALCORP. If that's the case for you, our WBE certificate is conveniently available here for download. 

We're proud to join such a fantastic community!

Congrats to Our New Senior Research Manager!

Lisa Garbrecht, Senior Research Manager
To start out 2015, we'd like to share some new and exciting news... Dr. Lisa Garbrecht has been promoted to Senior Research Manager at EVALCORP!

Lisa began her tenure with EVALCORP in 2007 as a part-time contractor. She then grew to become a full time Research Associate in early 2008, and toward the end of 2012 Lisa was promoted to Senior Research Associate. Lisa has always gone above and beyond the call of duty. She works hard to ensure our clients are well taken care of, consistently practices a true team spirit, and always maintains the highest degrees of excellence and professionalism in all she does.

In her position as Senior Research Manager Lisa will draw from her 15+ years of research experience and her PhD in Educational Psychology to provide expert leadership to EVALCORP in her new management role. We know our clients will benefit from having Lisa at the helm to direct their projects and research needs. All of us at EVALCORP are excited to grow from Lisa’s leadership, direction, and mentorship on internal operational and development activities.

Please feel welcome to congratulate Lisa on her new management role in the comment section, or read Lisa’s impressive bio to get to know her better! We hope you are as enthusiastic as we are to have Lisa take the lead in helping to maintain EVALCORP’s exceptional reputation as a first-rate consulting firm in California.
