This chapter discusses the systemic changes that need to occur in order for the Graduate Education Diversity Internship (GEDI) to live up to its mission and the underlying values for which it stands. It examines the context within which the GEDI program was created and the values and norms that shaped the program curriculum, followed by an examination of the organizations that comprise the ecosystem that shapes the evaluation profession. It concludes with suggestions for impacting this ecosystem and more important, the acknowledgement of the ecosystem that requires pipeline programs like the GEDI program to focus on change beyond the individual level.
