Commissions, Committees, and Councils
In addition to serving on the Board, there are three different ways to make your voice heard within NAAEE's decision-making structure.
CCC Handbook >> This handbook explains how Committees, Commissions, and Councils work and the responsibilities of Chairs.
Commissions >>
Commissions are interest groups of NAAEE members. Any member can join one or more commissions. They give members an opportunity to find other people who have similar interests, jobs, and needs. Joining a Commission puts you on a listserv, where members chat about
how to improve the EE field and the role that NAAEE can play in
enhancing the quality of environmental education. See the list >>Feel free to contact the Commission chair if you have specific questions about the Commission's work.
Join a Commission using our online system:
Start at http://naaee.org/cgi-bin/risee/noram/mem_settings2
1) Enter your login name and password
2) Click on the appropriate commission name (or names), which adds a check mark to indicate your interest, and
3) Be sure to click “change” at the bottom of the page to implement your request.
Commissions meet at our annual conference, so be sure to look for the dates and times of the Commission meetings in the conference program and stop by for a face-to-face encounter with the people you have chatted with on the Commission listserv.
Committees >>
Committees are created by the Board to make recommendations on actions the Board should take, or carry out other aspects of the Board's work. To volunteer for a Committee, please contact the Chair to make your interest known.
