The Affiliate Workshop will be held On October 15, 2008 at the NAAEE conference in Wichita Kansas. This workshop is for leaders of state, provincial, and regional EE associations. The focus will be on capacity building. Work from your organization’s strategic plan, development plan, and other plans to build stronger organizations and a stronger Affiliate Network.

Scholarships Available for Attending Affiliate Workshop
The Affiliate Network – with the support of EETAP – has funding available for scholarships for the conference. The application is due to Jonathan Mueller by July 15, 2008. It’s a straight-forward application and it is our hope that these scholarships enable a number of people to attend the conference who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity.

An affiliate organization is a state, territorial, provincial, or regional EE association whose purpose it is to promote and enhance environmental education. Affiliates are organizations in the field of environmental education that have chosen to affiliate with North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) and have been approved by the Affiliate Network Steering Committee (see Application Description and Procedure). <<Back
What is the Affiliate Network?
The affiliate organizations formed the Affiliate Network of NAAEE to network, support, and gain new perspectives through shared learning. The Affiliate Network provides a forum for ongoing dialogue and activities that work to enhance EE capacity at all levels. The Network strives to improve efficiency, greater effectiveness, and a stronger and more unified voice for EE on the provincial, state, territorial, regional, national, and international levels. <<Back
What is the Affiliate Partnership?
The Affiliate Network was first conceived during a workshop at the 1990 (NAAEE) conference in San Antonio, Texas. Since that time, the Affiliate Network has grown to a membership of more than 45 organizations with tremendous potential to support NAAEE and further the field of environmental education. Realizing this potential the Board of Directors of NAAEE formally recognized the Affiliate Network in 1997 with the adoption of a five-year strategic plan. In 1998, the Affiliates Partnership was created. This Partnership established and defined an on-going, working relationship between the Affiliate Network and NAAEE with constitutional and bylaw changes.
Currently, the Affiliate Network continues work to build EE capacity. The partnership between the Affiliates and NAAEE has strengthened and is exploring ways for the Network to support NAAEE initiatives. <<Back
