While the name Partners for Insightful Evaluation became official in January 2022, the formation began much earlier.

Our Story

Partners for Insightful Evaluation (PIE) is a team of dedicated evaluators who love what they do. The PIE team was formed on a common understanding that evaluation should provide insight to drive improvement in a collaborative environment.

Where it Started

The story begins when Mindy Anderson-Knott and Joyce Schmeeckle began a collaboration and friendship. Joyce had started Schmeeckle Research, and after collaborating with Mindy, discovered a shared vision and passion for making a difference through evaluation. Because of this shared vision, Joyce asked Mindy to join the Schmeeckle Research team to ultimately become her successor. After working in administrative roles, Mindy was thrilled to join because she wanted to get her hands dirty and “do” evaluation - working directly with clients and ultimately impacting lives.

The team was further enhanced with the additions of Liz Gebhart-Morgan and Cole Boyle – resulting in a team with a comprehensive set of skills and styles.
