Goals for NAAEE
My
experience in many volunteer board positions, including as President of
the North Carolina affiliate and as Program Chair for the 2006 NAAEE
conference gives me a solid foundation for improving NAAEE's services
to members, its’ conference planning process, and volunteer recruitment
and retention. My general enthusiasm for life, and creativity in
problem solving would be an asset to the Board. My research interests
focus on everyday learning facilitated by peers, and the corollary
development of community. I believe that these interests may be useful
to the Board and to the Association, as my vision for NAAEE is for the
sense of community among the members to serve as a basis for
professional and social growth both for the individual, the affiliate,
and the national organization.
