  I was invited to present a lecture at the 'University of Auckland, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, School of Population Health' about ‘The multiplicity of roles of the Internal Evaluator and the contextual realities of working in the 'Not-for-Profit sector’. Testimonial from Dr. Rachel Simon-Kumar Senior Lecturer, School of Population Health, The University of Auckland:"I had invited Lucinda to be a guest lecturer for my post-graduate class on evaluation. The lecture was excellent. Lucinda covered exactly the areas I was hoping she would but with the added prescience of experience. She pitched the lecture perfectly infusing story-telling and humour with facts and conceptual depth. She was well prepared with handouts and questions/exercises for the students. In fact, the handouts were so useful that students are using it as a sample for their upcoming assignment. And no, not one of the students dropped off to sleep". Show less
